Seattle Rail Yard
From the Lucille St. bridge, looking NW. Some of rail lines leading into Seattle. Some of the spurs off of these main lines are not in use today as industries have relocated outside the city limits or just closed down.
Walking the RR Tracks
Location: Rail road tracks that run parallel to Airport Way So. in Georgetown , Seattle. There’s a blast of steam in the middle of the image coming from a small industrial building. Downtown Seattle in the distance.
More of the graffiti to follow in future posts.
Trestle and Bridge
A couple of more sights along the Interurban Trail. I think the clearance underneath the trestle is 8 feet, 6in. Bigfoot might have to duck to pass under.
Along the Tracks
Graffiti peering out between rail cars. Containers, double-stacked, along the rail lines in Georgetown, adjacent to I-5.
Going South?
Found this discarded sign along the railroad tracks in Georgetown.
Georgetown
Georgetown Community Center. For years this building served as the South Precint Headquarters for SPD, The South Precint is now located in a larger, new facility on Delridge Way in West Seattle. Above photo: looking south on BNSF tracks in Georgetown. There is an old spur that goes into the old Seattle Brewery Building. That spur ends abruptly about 20 yards north of this location. It’s an interesting place to walk around on a Sunday morning. Along the tracks is a wealth of discarded items.
Oncoming Train
A BNSF train heading towards me.
Tracks
Tracks that run behind the original Rainier Brewery in Georgetown.
Yakima River Canyon
