Tacoma's Trains

[@Erica_Brenda]

My mom used to ride the train up to Snoqualmie pass to go skiing and playing in the snow, when she was a teen.

My Great Grandfather was the Orting Station Master circa 1900. Prior to that he was a section foreman building track out through Wilkeson, Carbonado. He was transferred out here from the Twin Cities in 1889.

Couple of things: 1) Tacoma Rail runs trains out in Frederickson; 2) in the late 70s, I rode Amtrak out of Union Station going from Tacoma to Portland for a day trip with my grandma and aunt; 3) there were trains running on the Prairie Line after 1993. I attended UW-Tacoma from 1998 to 2000, and there would be trains running through the now decommissioned tracks. Often carrying military equipment, most memorably Abrams tanks.
