Rainier Beach streetcar station, circa 1911
Order an ImageIn 1896, the old Seattle and Rainier Beach trolley line was extended to Renton. At that time, the 12-mile route between Seattle and Renton was the longest electric railway line in the world. The line, known after 1903 as the Seattle, Renton and Southern Railway, provided passenger and freight service to the once-isolated settlements between the two cities.
This 1911 photo shows the Seattle, Renton and Southern's interurban trolley tracks and station at Rainier Beach on the line between Seattle and Renton. A boathouse stands across the tracks from the station.
