  • Amtrak Cascades into Vancouver, British Columbia

    From Nobody@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 5 16:04:08 2022
    I was surprised around 1.35 pm this afternoon (Sat 5 Feb 2022) to be
    held up briefly in East Vancouver on Rupert Street while an Amtrak
    Cascades consist sped through heading east, away from Pacific Central
    Station.

    Five older cars (not the Talgo fleet) were top-and-tailed by the usual diesel-and-power pair.

    Amtrak Cascades' schedule doesn't make any mention of possible
    resumption of service.

    I had read that the Starlight was back in service up North to Washington,
    but when I went to the AMTRAK website it claimed it could find "no trains" going from San Jose, CA to Kelso-Longview, WA.

    I'm going to assume things are actually running, though. Just puzzling that their own website seemed unclear.
