In 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 photo, taken around 1905, shows a Seattle, Renton and Southern interurban trolley car at the Wildwood station located in the Rainier Valley.
