Nisqually Line - Lakewood WA update
Author: GN Goat
Date: 02-21-2017 - 02:25

Driving down I-5 South of Tacoma, WA today, the speed limit signs and other signs "W" and others have had the black plastic removed from them.

Signs visible P-70 (Between Tillicum and DuPont)

Sign 1/2 mile North of Dupont/Steilacoom exit MP 119, shows F 10. I was surprised to see that low of speed for freights. Haven't had a chance to view other areas North of this.

Haven't seen any trains running except for one day, but must assume they are upping the speeds now since the signs are visible. Did see Green signal and flashing yellow so evidently they are running, just couldn't wait around.

As some in other areas have requested, this is the Old NP line that ran between Tacoma and Nisqually, WA, that connects to BNSF main line at Nisqually.

I-5 markers are about MP 132 to MP 116.
