For this early look at the Waterfront Trolley, Lawton Gowey, rail fan and transportation historian, stood near where Wilse was standing to record his ca. 1899 view. Lawton was here in the early 1980s. Lawton died soon after, and would have been startled, as many of us still are, that the popular trolley was abandoned for – and not accommodated by – SAM’s Sculpture Garden.
