Coal Dock at Cle Elum

[Caddy58]

Does anybody have drawings or pictures of the Coal Dock at Cle Elum, Washington?

I know the color picture in Dale Sanders "The Northern Pacific", page 140 but have been unable to locate any additional "full view" pictures.

It was a "Traveling Crane" type (maybe the only one on the NP?) and it begs to be modelled.....

Many Thanks
Dirk

I must confess my sins. I saw that structure countless times. Never once took a picture.

I'll bet the Kittitas County assessor has a few photos. And also the NP archives at Jackson Street.

Hello Boxcab,

thanks for the info. I tried the webpage of the county assessor but they do not offer photos on the web. Do you have experience if they are responsive to a photo request (maybe for a school or study project?)

Ihave numerous links to NP siztes, but never found a direct link to the Jackson Street Archives. Are thy on the web?

If anythimng else fails I will need to beg for a drawing or sketch from a sinner who did not take photos ;)

Cheers
Dirk

Dirk-

I have no personal experience in contacting the county. Know of a person, or two, who has mentioned doing so, and seemed satisfied with those results. I suppose all you can do is try.

There is also a Kittitas County historical society. Located in Ellensburg.

Perhaps also check with the City of Cle Elum. I wonder if there's anyone in a town historical type group there?

For the NP archives, I am not aware of a web site. Still half asleep this morning. Don't remember what, if anything, is on the NPRHA web site.

Surely a resource is out there.
