Scope and content
This is car No. 40 of the Tacoma Railway & Power Co. In 1890, it ran on a set of tracks that went down Pacific Ave. to Jefferson; up Jefferson to Center; and then followed Center to Hosmer, the end of the line. This photograph was probably taken near So. 17th and Jefferson. In the 1890s and early 1900s, Tacoma had one of the best and most extensive electric railway systems on the west coast.
