Link Light Rail Testing to Begin:<br />
<strong>Sound</strong> <strong>Transit</strong> is gearing up for the opening of its Link light rail line. The<br />
light rail trains, which run in their own right of way free of highway<br />
congestion, will begin carrying passengers from the Downtown Seattle<br />
<strong>Transit</strong> Tunnel to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 2009. Train<br />
testing is now underway in the SODO area, south of downtown Seattle.<br />
Expanded testing along Martin Luther King Jr. Way South in the Rainier<br />
Valley and Tukwila is scheduled to begin mid-summer 2008, followed by<br />
the Beacon Hill and Airport segments.<br />
