Second train to continue running to Vancouver, B.C.
Great news! The Canada Border Services Agency has agreed to waive border clearance fees so the second Amtrak Cascades train can continue to operate between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. Cheers to Canada! This calls for celebration perhaps with a trip to Vancouver, B.C.?
More Trains and More Frequent Service Coming
Washington secured nearly $800 million in federal high-speed rail funds to increase the frequency and reliability of Amtrak Cascades passenger rail service. This extraordinary level of investment in passenger rail creates jobs and pays for much needed improvements along the 300-mile corridor in Washington. Scheduled for completion in 2017, these projects will result in two additional daily round trips for business and leisure travelers, improved on-time performance and shorter travel times.
