“ The first next-generation trainset has reached Seattle as Amtrak begins a nationwide rollout replacing aging rail cars across major routes. The Amtrak Cascades route connects Eugene, Oregon, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. Eight new Airo trainsets are planned for the corridor.
“This is the first place in the United States where these new trainsets are going to be deployed,”” https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/nation-world/amtraks-new-airo-train-arrives-in-seattle-kicking-off-sweeping-us-rail-upgrade/507-efffe73e-0593-4011-85ad-800202934ecc #AmtrakCascades #travel

It’s early in the morning when I take the link rail to Seattle. The I5 is pretty full of cars. Arriving at King Street Station and waiting for the train to Vancouver, B.C. First time with Amtrak! Let the adventure begin… 😃

Pictures of the Seattle to Tacoma section, the final stage of my train trip! Today, The Mountain Was Out. Hello mountain! I missed you, nice to see you again. (Tahoma or Mount Rainier, for anyone who hasn’t heard the western Washington phenomenon of discussing whether or not the mountain is out today.

Also sorry for the delay, I arrived and immediately started racing around the city and also i hate typing captions on my phone so it had to wait until i was ready to get the laptop out again.

Been a while since I had some good travel to photograph and post! Today i am taking the #amtrakcascades to Tacoma. I hate being aware of sunrise, but it’s better from a train.

I’m ridiculously stoked for the new #airo trains to launch on #AmtrakCascades next year. https://amtrakcascades.com/about/new-amtrak-cascades-trains-arrive-in-2026/

Though when are we going to work on the amenities at the #Tacoma and #Seattle stations? Making these into proper destinations in and of themselves would go a long way to making the service feel more comfortable and convenient.

This had to be my favorite way I've ever commuted to and from work, despite these trains being over 30 years behind the rest of the world.
