Tacoma Rail East End Locomotive Fuel Facility Improvements

KPFF provided planning and design services for expansion of Tacoma Rail’s East End Locomotive Facility to double the capacity of locomotive servicing. Upgrades included: addition of new locomotive fueling, sanding, and lubricant service systems; new two track service island; 40,000 fuel receiving and storage system; storage building for oils and lubricants; compressed air system; and potable water service system.

Upon completion of the improvements, Tacoma Rail will have the ability to provide locomotive servicing on a contract basis to two Class I railroads using independent systems for fuel, lubricants and sand.
