Text Appearing After Image:
THE L. A. THOMPSON SCENIC RAILWAY The Scenic Railway is an amusement feature that never loses its popularity. The one on the Pay Streak is the most picturesque that has ever been built. It is well down the Pay Streak, south, near Lake Washington, and it has a constant throng of patrons, who are fond of thrill without danger. The railway reaches over a large stretch of territory, and a ride as elaborate and extensive as this is a sensation that should not be missed. There is not a dull second while one is on the trip. The climax of the ride is when the swift dips take place in rapid succession, at terrific speed which are gently checked by the rising sweeps which bring the cars smoothly up to the pavilions, where one passes brilliantly lighted scenes of enchantment and varied views of surrounding scenery. The Scenic Railway carries thousands of passengers in safety, and returns them to starting point eager for another ride. Unlike some other entertainment features, it imposes no dreary waits
