ca. 1926. The Northern Pacific Railway yard at "D" St., Tacoma, circa 1926. Two men were posed in front of the roundhouse office locker room, left. The two boxes with stacks on opposite sides of the tracks were "blow-down boxes." The Hostlers or the Engineers would pull the steam locomotives up to the boxes, lining up the blow down pipe at the bottom of the boiler and would release a strong jet of steam to clean out any debris in the boiler. The boxes served to protect anyone nearby, the steam being directed into the box and up the chimney to vent where it could not scald anyone. The coaling tower is in the background. Photograph is labelled "NO. 2." (WSHS) (identifying information supplied by a former railroad employee) image NO. 1 scanned as A1867 image 1

ca. 1926. As the Foss family expanded their operations into the Olympic Peninsula, Henry Foss rented the home on the extreme left when in the area to oversee the company's growth. It was also used by Foss employees when they were towing on the river. The cabin was located on Rialto Beach, out from the town of Mora, near the mouth of the Quillayute River. The large home on the right was the summer home of the magician "Alexander the Great," better known on stage as the one who "knows all, sees all." In 1926, Foss was awarded a contract by Washington Pulp & Paper Corporation of Port Angeles to tow a barge load per day of pulp wood from the Quillayute River on the Olympic Peninsula to the company's Port Angeles plant. The Foss #21 was assigned to this task and continued until the pulp wood camps there were closed in 1930. In 1926, Foss also purchased the Angeles Gravel & Supply Co. and took over their operations. Foss executive Henry Berg was placed in charge of the Port Angeles office. They continued to capitalize on future Peninsula towing opportunities, including the large scale movement of materials for the paving of what is now Highway 101.
