Dink

photo by Ballard Avenue

Excited as I was about the new tennyrunners, I forgot there were more Tacoma pictures to post. Here's a picture of Tacoma's own little light rail train. Officially known as Link, the cognoscenti refer to it as Dink, for it serves no useful transportation purpose as it runs back and forth on its 1.6 mile journey through downtown. But it allows Tacoma to say that it has something—rail transit—that Seattle and Ballard do not.
