Terry Avenue Freight House. Restaurant / bar. With wood-stave wine car.
Bitter end of the line was the basement of the Bon Marche warehouse. Look for the door.
Last regular customer was a bakery supply house on the East side of Terry, below the Seattle Opera offices. May still receive truckloads.
Public Storage was a Ford assembly plant; later a commercial printer - received carloads from Wisconsin Central. I negotiated the trolley wire clearance over this spur.
The steam plant may have received coal and/or oil from barges. ??
Maybe 50 feet of track has been saved along the West side of Lake Union. Look for lots of shrubbery.
The lead from Interbay is now the East track of the BNSF fuel station. A very short line w/ Plymouth, provides service on this vestige of Seattle's first railroad - aimed for Walla Walla. The line split further East, between Fremont and South Lake Union. Look for ghosts.
