Whelp, Amtrak just yanked most of CascadiaRail's trains out from under us.
It's supposedly corrosion concerns? But with this administration who even fucking knows. My _default_ reaction is to assume they're lying.
This is after yanking our previous trains and handing us these as temporaries pending the new trains we're buying - _ourselves_, as always - for 2026.
So now we've got one (1) train a day up and down the line, which is to say, fuck. everything.
They'll be running busses instead, which we can all agree suck.
