Description
English:

Seattle's first railroad, the Seattle & Walla Walla Railroad, was built to carry coal from the mines east of Lake Washington to the Seattle waterfront. The narrow-gauge railroad's first locomotive was named the "A.A. Denny" in honor of one Seattle's founders, Arthur A. Denny. In 1880, the railroad became the Columbia and Puget Sound Railway. This photo, taken around 1880, shows Seattle's first locomotive, the A.A. Denny, hauling an excursion train to the racetrack at Georgetown.
