Does the railroad have any scenic or historic value?
Yes, it has a lot of both, and this can be considered as an important part of the amenities. It played a key role in the development of the Eastside and several historic structures remain along the route. Among the diverse scenic attractions are Lake Washington, the Bellevue skyline and the farmlands north of Woodinville. The spectacular Wilburton trestle just south of downtown Bellevue is both scenic and historic. For images of some of the scenery, please refer to the page Scenes Along the Eastside Railroad.
