Photograph depicts the site of the first tramway in BC that ran between Anderson Lake and Seton Lake for 1 1/4 miles and was built in 1861. It lasted for 2 years and used wooden rails. The visible piece of track bed was 70 paces southwest of the PGE depot in Seton Portage. Parts of it had been obliterated by bulldozing that took place in the centre of the village.
