Why this spot
1893-1929 mountain railroad station
Railroad community founded in 1893 at the west portal of the original Cascade Tunnel under Stevens Pass. In March 1910 an avalanche swept two snowbound trains into the valley and killed 96 people; renamed Tye, the town was abandoned when the second Cascade Tunnel opened in 1929 and later burned.View source →
