Sounder commuter rail Lakewood train layover areaDescription
Sound Transit is expanding its Sounder commuter rail service to South Tacoma-Lakewood. To make this service possible a new section of track will be constructed, railroad grade crossings will be installed or upgraded, and a train layover area will be created in Lakewood.
The layover area will serve as a place where trains are stored when not in use and where routine operations such as interior cleaning of the trains occur.
The layover area will consist of two double-ended tracks for storage of five trains. The layover area will have a small office/storage building, crew parking for 20 cars, a gravel road along the tracks providing crew access to the trains, fencing, lighting and utilities.
