A few nights ago on a trip from LA up to Seattle, we were heading through Tacoma when an I-5 detour took us off the highway and through the city a bit. I'm not too familiar with Tacoma but it seemed we came to an engine storage yard where it looked as if there were 5-6 engines that looked very out of service on a stub track next to the road. Does anyone have any idea why they were there? Are they being scrapped? Were any possibly left over from decades before BSNF had taken over other railroads? (I saw a few that just said Sante Fe)
Weird question, I know. If it wasn't almost 2am, I would have grabbed some pictures.
