Amtrak Cascades Service Changes

Effective Immediately

In compliance with federal requirements and its ongoing commitment to safety, Amtrak routinely inspects its railcars and locomotives. Corrosion was discovered in several Horizon railcars, which resulted in removal of some equipment from service on the Amtrak Cascades route, as outlined below.

  • Intensive inspections showed additional areas of concern, resulting in removal of cars from service on most of the Amtrak Cascades route. 
  • Until further notice, buses have been chartered as substitute transportation for most scheduled trains.
  • Substitute transportation is unable to accommodate unaccompanied minors.
  • Bicycle reservations will be honored on the buses.
  • Business Class passengers will be provided refunds for the cost difference from Coach Class, as the buses do not support Business Class.
