Company History: In 1998, Tacoma Municipal Belt Line took over operation of the Tacoma Eastern. Since different state agencies owned the track of the original Tacoma Municipal Belt Line and the route of the Tacoma Eastern, the operating entity was reorganized into Tacoma Rail, part of Tacoma Public Utilities. They continue to use their predecessor’s TMBL reporting marks. The network runs from Port of Tacoma southwest to Nisqually, from Tacoma southeast to Fredericks then generally south to Eatonville and Morton. They also run from Fredericks southwest to McKenna, Rainier, Centralia and Chehalis. In total, they operate about 200 miles of line with a fleet of fifteen locomotives including: four MP15’s, one 3GS21B-DE, two GP-22eco’s, one SD40, one SD40-2, two GP38-2’s, two GP40M’s, and two SD70Ace-P4’s. The railroad has 72 customers and they move around 300 cars on a typical day.
