Tukwila Main 3 almost finished
Author: lamta_jay

Here are some shots from yesterday at Tukwila Station

TWS...Sound Transit/Amtrak Platform

Word had it yesterday the new track will be  IN SERVICE
​Wednesday @ 9am.  The conductor on 1511 yesterday
​said they got bulletined about the change 6/29

I will be back working  at the station on 7/01 for both the
AM and PM shifts

They were dumping more ballast and tamping my entire
4 hours at the station.


More to come

Correct. Signal testing will take hours, but the new Main 3 is ready for trains.
