Amtrak restores Cascades service
Amtrak has fully restored daily service to the Cascades route between Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, British Columbia, for the first time since the service was suspended in 2020 due to the pandemic.
The line was partially restored in September 2022 for daily service between Seattle and Vancouver.
“With more people now traveling, we are thrilled to double the daily roundtrips between Seattle and Vancouver,” said Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner. “By adding staffing and equipment to the region, we can once again offer customers a direct connection between Portland and Canada.”
More trains will be added to the Portland-Seattle route later this year, said Ron Pate, Washington State Department of Transportation’s director of the rail, freight and ports division.
