The tracks were built (starting from Tacoma) as Milwaukee RR, a short segment of new construction, the former Northern Pacific Prairie Line + the former Northern Pacific American Lake Line from Prairie Junction to Nisqually.

See my + Steve Carter's comments earlier here: [www.altamontpress.com]

This WSDOT map shows the various segments, although they are not named on the map: [www.wsdot.wa.gov]
