Mobase/Wabash(?) Local

Hopefully someone with a better memory than mine can tell us which Tacoma based local this is. I think it's either the Mobase or Wabash Local. It would pull its train out of the main NP yard backwards past UP Junction. After running around its train in the Half Moon Yard, it would tackle the long hill to South Tacoma and points beyond. I think it worked all the way to Nisqually and returned via the mainline, but not sure. Here's the train picking up its orders at UP Junct. In a half hour or so it will pass above the juntion on the tracks seen to the right up on the hill. The final two shots are of the same train grinding up the hill directly above UP Junct then slipping out as it nears the 15th street crossing.
