Milwaukee Road Tacoma to Morton Steam Question

  by Bartman-tn
 
We are operating steam trips between Tacoma and Morton over the former Milwaukee Road/Tacoma Eastern line on June 8 and 9. We know that passenger service ended around 1932, but the last year or so was gas-electric and not steam. Can anyone provide the actual last date of steam passenger service over this line? Aslo, can anyone document any special public steam-powered trips between Tacoma and Morton after that date?

Thanks..
