Record-breaking year for Amtrak Cascades ridership between Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland

The passenger rail service runs between British Columbia, Washington state, and Oregon, linking the major cities of Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and smaller communities along the way. The entire route between Pacific Central Station near downtown Vancouver and Eugene, Oregon spans 752 km, with most trips between Vancouver and Portland requiring a transfer in Seattle.

Currently, at its manufacturing facility in Sacramento, California, Siemens is building a brand new fleet of 83 Amtrak Airo train sets for various Amtrak services across the United States, with Amtrak Cascades set to be the very first service to receive the new trains. These new trains will replace most of Amtrak’s existing fleet across the US.
