A south bound Tacoma Rail train splits the signals at Thomsen Road near Nisqually, Washington on 24 Oct 2009. The train works the businesses along South Tacoma Way. Then it rolls onto the BNSF mainline at Nisqually to travel south to the St. Clair line to switch cars there. Lastly, the train travels south to East Olympia before tying down. The Tacoma Rail train that actually travels to Olympia, Washington is called the Oly Job or the Capital Job. The Oly Job runs the day after the Lakeview Job delivers the cars to East Olympia.
