Title
English: Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad locomotive "D.H. Gilman," ca. 1887
Description
English: The Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad Company was formed in 1885 by Daniel Gilman, Judge Thomas Burke, and other Seattle businessmen. By 1887, it ran from the Seattle waterfront to Smith Cove, across Salmon Bay, and along the northwest side of Lake Washington. By 1888, the line reached Fall City to the east and Snohomish to the north, eventually connecting with the Canadian Pacific system near Sumas. Some of the old railbed is now the Burke-Gilman Trail, used by hundreds of cyclists, roller bladers, runners, and walkers each day.

This photo shows the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern's first locomotive, the "D.H. Gilman." It was named for the Daniel Hunt Gilman, the president of the railroad.
