When I was still truck driving before I retired, I made a couple of deliveries of some sort of machinery to this place. I noticed that were a lot of covered hoppers there along with a switcher doing its thing pushing and pulling railcars around. I also noticed a couple of BNSF trains going by as well. Even saw some large ships tied up near the grainery as well. I asked an grainery employee where did the BNSF tracks cross the inlet. I was told that the trains did not but rather enter a very long tunnel underneath the Ruston community at the northernmost point of the peninsula. The tracks in the tunnel curve around to the other side of the peninsula and follows the "coastline" to points south. I had been delivering freight of all kinds to the Tacoma area for years and never did know that there was a long railroad tunnel there. Just think, there is an active train track underneath your house or your business if you live and work there. So, if you like to watch, photograph, and film trains, switchers, ships, trucks and graineries doing their thing, then this is avery good place to watch all the action

I live 20 minutes north of here and it's a GREAT place to watch Trains , boats and ships , aircraft from a nearby Air Force / Army Base , and in the summer people cruise in their Classic Cars ! Many areas to picnic and take in the countless views of Trains and Watercraft of All sizes
