Trains vs. cars no longer in Tukwila

Rendering courtesy of Berger/ABAM Shoppers going to Costco and Ikea will no longer face long waits at the railroad crossing on South 180th Street when the city of Tukwila’s grade separation project is completed.

Ah, the nostalgic whistle of a lonesome train. Grrr -- the maddening dinging when a railroad crossing bar drops, forcing you to wait in your car until the train rumbles by.
