The postcard from Westlake

Arrive at Westlake to unlock it.

Greetings from the old line.

Long before the light rail, electric Interurban cars ran between Seattle and Everett, from 1910 to 1939, through the stump farms that became Lynnwood. One of them, car 55, is restored at Heritage Park.

How it is scored

The line is squeezed to about three minutes and the train is livelier than a real one, but the stations and their order are real.
