AC/DC, Ride the Sounder and rock


Hey AC/DC fans: If you plan to rock out with Angus next Monday at the Tacoma Dome, Sound Transit needs you to avoid the Highway to Hell.
For those who take the Sounder commuter train to the show, Sound Transit is offering a special northbound train after the gig from the Tacoma Dome station. It will depart 30 minutes after the house lights come up.
The Monday night show starts at 8 p.m. Traffic and parking are assumed to be a challenge.

To catch a train to the gig, riders "can hop aboard any usually scheduled afternoon southbound Sounder train between Seattle and Puyallup and ride to Freighthouse Square in Tacoma, just a short walk from the Tacoma Dome," Sound Transit said in a news delivery.
According to the schedule, the last southbound train before the gig leaves Seattle at 6:15 p.m. The after gig train will follow the normal route, stopping in Puyallup, Sumner, Auburn, Kent, Tukwila and Seattle. Normal fares will assign.
A one way trip from Seattle to Tacoma is $4.75. Riders can use ORCA cards or even purchase tickets in advance. For more info, check out Sound Transit's Web site.
Tacoma Link light rail also will run two hours later, until midnight, for gig goers. Sound Transit Express buses also act the Tacoma Dome.
