Cable car line on James Street, 1905
Order an ImageSome of Seattle's steep streets had cable car lines. Cable cars move by gripping a long wire cable that runs under the street. This photo was taken on James Street in 1905, looking downhill towards Pioneer Square. The cross street at the bottom of the slope is Second Avenue. At that time, James Street still had wooden sidewalks.
