Uphill. Service over the Point Defiance Bypass/Lakeview Subdivision had recently returned when Amtrak Train 11 (Coast Starlight) crossed over Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington on Monday, March 28, 2022 with Webb Rail's former Northern Pacific Railway Budd built Pullman dome/sleeper 313 (WEBX 801044), former Northern Pacific Railway Budd built dome/coach 549 (WEBX 801045), and former New York Central Railroad Budd built Pullman obs/diner/sleeper "Babbling Brook" (WEBX 800007) holding the markers. Although one always hopes for sunshine to enjoy the views from the domes on a trip like this, in this day the weather is typical and can perhaps best be described as “Seattle-esque”.
