howdy folks...i have a friend who is moving to east oly/lacey soon and i will be visiting them and also fanning a bit, i dont know the area that well. any tips would be helpful, like where to go and what to check out. i have been geeking out, reading some stuff that i have found on the internet, but one thing i am confused on: how does freight get from tacoma to the bnsf 'interchange' at east oly? is it a bnsf job or does tacoma rail bring it down from tacoma (or south tacoma?) do you know which days this job runs to and from tacoma? does this same job that comes from tacoma go straight out to olympia or is that a separate job that goes to oly?

i know there used to be the bnsf "olympia turn" but from what i can gather that stopped running years ago.

thanks and enjoy the rest of your summers!
