Inhaltsangabe

This book depicts the growth of railways across the PugetSound region, including Tacoma's frantic quest for a saltwater terminal of their own, descriptions of individual lines, and the colorful personalities and urban aspirations that eventually brought Seattle to the forefront of Washington commerce"--Provided by publisher.
