A pedestrian was struck by a Sounder train in route to the Tacoma Dome station Thursday evening, authorities say.

Sound Transit spokesman Scott Thompson said train No. 1523 left King Street Station in Seattle at 5:45 p.m. and struck the pedestrian about two miles east of the Tacoma station.

The female victim was struck around 6:40 p.m., according to Tacoma police spokeswoman Loretta Cool. The victim was transported to a local hospital. She was reported to be in critical condition.

As of 7:30 p.m., the Sounder train was stopped at the collision site. Thompson said the train should start moving again around 8 p.m.

Stay off the tracks folks. The trains are quieter and faster than you realize.

2. If it was east of the station it was more than likely Tacoma bound

Most of the trains handle commuters who work in Seattle.

I think there may be two trains that go the other direction.
