Western Railroad Discussion > Trackwork at Tukwila, WA.

Tukwila , Washington track project.

​As of yesterday 6/27  track #3 is now in. They were dumping balast and tamping
during my PM shift as Sound Transit's Station Agent. I will be back today working
the PM shift.

I think the new track where the platform is on the east side will be track #3. This track
​is a extension of the old Industrial Lead that starts at James Street in Kent. Not really
sure as I have heard no officials talk about it except Sounder Trains will use this new
track since it does have the platform.

This time I will take my Digital, yesterday I took my film camera in error. I did take
some pictures but not ready yet.

Yes, it's the new Main 3.

It'll be 3 main tracks from King Street Station to James Street in Kent. 

Would be nice to see 3MT from James Street to Pacific.

...and between Thomas and Ellingson.

Right - Would be nice if it was fully 3MT instead of creating a small bottleneck in DT Kent. 

CP Thomas will be going in around MP18 just south of the Green River.
