Scope and content
ca. 1908. This winter view of the Northern Pacific Shops in South Tacoma dates from sometime before 1910. Started in 1890 as the Edison Car Shops, the complex of buildings at 5200 So. Proctor became the Northern Pacific Shops in 1895. The NP Shops were responsible for all repair work on Northern Pacific cars and locomotives west of the Mississippi. A horse-drawn sleigh can be seen by the entrance to the complex, as a line of workers leaves the plant.
