TitleOxen hauling logs along waterfront, Seattle, ca. 1885
PhotographerUnknown
Dateca. 1885
CaptionAs Seattle grew, the hills above the city were gradually logged over. Oxen and railroads hauled the logs to the sawmills at the waterfront.

This photo, taken in the 1880s, shows a long team of oxen hauling a train of huge logs along a trestle at the Seattle waterfront. It is believed to show the first load of logs carried by the Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad.
