EwePee has a Wye track at Argo Yard, and Amtrak uses the " Coach Yard Wye ", which is also the connection between the BNSF Seattle - Tacoma mainline and Stacy St. Yard in Seattle. BNSF also has turntables in Tacoma and Seattle, and wye tracks in Kent and Everett. Both railroads can also turn equipment and even entire trains on Tacoma Rail.
