Blair says:
"This is the last "bonafide" train #200, seen
sweeping around the big curve at Beverly, WA on March 1, 1980. Revenue
operations have essentially ended on the mainline; this is the last train to
carry the once-proud symbol out of Tacoma, but looking at what's on the drawbar
on that eclectic consist of five GP40s and a rare GP30, you can tell the
high-value traffic has already left the Milwaukee. Trains operated beyond this
date for the final two weeks will either be designated Dead Freights or as
extra divisional symbols using the 900-series numbers."
