Did Kurt A. cover the Pacific Coast Coal roundhouse in Seattle? I didn't know about this one.

Title: [Turntable and roundhouse at the Pacific Coast Coal Company bunkers]
Date: 1911.
Photographer: Webster & Stevens.
Caption: When a train gets to the end of its track, the engine has to be turned around. This is done by driving the engine onto a turn-table, and then turning it in the right direction. When not in use, locomotives were housed in roundhouses.
Physical Desc. 1 negative : glass, b&w ; 6.5 x 8.5 in.
Notes: This photo shows the turn-table and roundhouse at the Pacific Coast Coal Company's waterfront storage bunkers on Railroad Avenue South, near where the Kingdome now stands. The turn-table was rotated by hand. The cleats around the edge kept the workman's feet from slip
