Dusty Moments -- America's Finest Blog

Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

Milwaukee Road

In 1909 the Milwaukee Road was completed on this date. Consider Seattle circa 1909, three transcontiential railroads from the East, three lines running to British Columbia and two lines running to Portland and points south. Add to this numerous steamship lines to points across the global, Seattle was an amazingly easy place to get to considering there were no passable roads to connect major cities in Pacific Northwest. Of course in June of 1909 the Coast to Coast race was "won" by a Model T and the rest they say is history. Tonight a picture of the Milwaukee Road near Snoqualmie Pass.

Enjoy
