| Date | ca. 1917 |
| Caption | The Seattle and Rainier Valley Railroad ran from downtown Seattle to Renton. For many years, this streetcar line was the main means of transportation between the city and the southern towns. In 1913, the rail line pleased baseball fans by offering special cars to Dugdale Field.
This photo, taken in about 1917, shows a Seattle and Rainier Valley streetcar heading south. The sign on the front fender says "Northwestern League baseball today. Take this car." A newsboy stands near the car, hoping to sell papers. |
