There will be an online presentation this Thursday evening at 7 PM showing the history of how coal was moved in the 1870’s from Newcastle to Seattle. This was a major effort beginning with construction of a tramway and incline to move coal to Lake Washington. Coal cars were then moved on barges to Lake Union and then by another tramway to a pier at Pike Street for ships to San Francisco.

Members of the Newcastle Historical Society have put together an excellent program with photographs, newspaper articles and maps, many of which have not been shared before with the public.
