Grabbing flimsies in 1992

A northbound BN intermodal grabs orders at Tacoma, WA. The last time I ever saw this happen.
HEY!! I was there that day! I remember see'ing the 2072, (my fav loco because it was BN's first), and though it was cool they were hoopin' up orders! Got a few pic's that day!!
 
If I remember correctly, there was usually a group of guys down there in that parking lot on a regular basis. Ken Ardinger (or was it Keith?) and Roger Beckett being two that I remember. On that day I was just "visiting" the area prior to moving there in May (1992). Got out in June 1994 for colder/sunnier weather down here in Bend.
 
Yeah, they were all there, every weekend! Until they fenced it off. Dad and I were always there in his blue jeep.
