Article for the lay readership; not for us "technicians"
I remember six trains a day; and the Milwaukee Ski Trains
Article does not mention Union Pacific or Milwaukee Road. Does mention Mr. Harriman.
Locomotive run-arounds were the shows; from Fourth Avenue, Airport Way, and Fifth Avenue. Overhead Contact System hangers are still under Airport Way.
The lower level is now transit; to and from the Third Avenue tunnel service
The upper floors are Sound Transit offices.
The waiting room is used for occasional public meetings.
