    Amtrak Cascades Service discussion

    The new train wash in Seattle coming along. I cannot wait for it to be functioning so they can clean all of the Cascades, and Sounder trains because everything is in dire need.

    Airo - Amfleet I replacement Siemens Inter City Trainsets (ICT) (2021 - 1Q 2024)

    Funnily enough, I also learned this tidbit on the Venture cab cars, so I can only assume the Airos will be a similar set up. The guy answering seems to work for Caltrans and has provided good info on the launch of the Ventures there before, so take that as you will. Hopefully we can see pictures...

    Amtrak Cascades Service discussion

    I was on 11 on Saturday and we arrived only 20 mins or so late. 518 on Sunday was about 45 mins late when I arrived, but the wait was extended a bit due to switch issues in Longview which delayed 517 clearing that area and the single tracked portion. Just looking at the ASM docs in the day...

    Amtrak Cascades Service discussion
