Photographs
documenting the construction of the Yakima and Pacific Coast Railroad from
Chehalis, Washington to South Bend, Washington, circa 1890-1892
The Yakima and Pacific Coast Railroad operated from 1890 to 1892, and
ran from Chehalis to South Bend, Washington. United Railroads of Washington
bought the company in 1892, and they were subsequently bought by Northern
Pacific Railway Company in 1898.
Photographs documenting the construction of the Yakima and Pacific
Coast Railroad from Chehalis to South Bend sometime between 1890 and 1892.
Shows construction and survey crews, landscape grading, and construction
equipment. The photographs were possibly made by the Partridge Brothers (Edward
J. Partridge and William H. Partridge) because there is a sticker on the front
inside album cover that says "Partridge Photo Supplies" and the photographs are
similar in style to other known Partridge Brothers photographs.
This album has come apart from the binding.
