An old rail spur in Tacoma is not only a pedestrian and bike trail, it's also a stormwater filter.
Prairie Line Trail-UWT Station is open at the University of Washington Tacoma. The trail includes a portion of the old Prairie Rail Line railroad spur and runs through the campus from South 17th to 21st Street.
