Remarks & Notes

MILW 5604 leads an RS2 slug, another U-boat and an F7 A-B-A set (B unit a slug) on a freight headed up Tacoma hill to Frederickson, WA. I am uncertain whether this was a Portland bound train or if it was headed to Morton, WA. Given the lead power set it may have been going to Morton. This location is being modified with a new bridge replacing an old wood trestle and will see Amtrak trains to Portland (as well as Sound Transit commuters already operating on the line).
