Amtrak Modifies Service between Portland and Seattle due to Weather Related Concerns


February 09, 2019 12:00 PM


 

Amtrak will operate a modified service on Saturday, February 9 - Sunday, February 10 due to inclement weather. Full scheduled service will be restored pending improved conditions. The following service is canceled between Portland and Seattle:

  • Amtrak Cascades train 506, 507 and 517

 

Customers with reservations on trains that are being modified will typically be accommodated on trains with similar departure times or another day. Amtrak will gladly waive additional charges for customers looking to change their reservation during the modified schedule by calling our reservation center at 800-USA-RAIL. Anyone planning to travel should check their train status on Amtrak.com or our smartphone apps.

 

Amtrak regrets any inconvenience. This information is correct as of the above time and date. Information is subject to change as conditions warrant.

 

Anyone can subscribe to automated email or text message notifications if Amtrak trains are behind schedule at specific stations. Notifications can be given for up to six trains and stations by either text or email and delivered when you choose - on a single day, every day, or just certain days of the week. Create a subscription at Amtrak.com/delayalerts.

 

Customers with travel plans can review refund information on Amtrak.com. Service Alerts, Passenger Notices and other announcements are posted at Amtrak.com/alerts.

Hopefully we can get more rolling stock soon. Looks like one and a half round trips cancelled. Unfortunately BNSF doesn't have a Jordan Spreader handy for Puget Sound, But this is our worst snow event since 2008.

SERVICE ADVISORY: Due to weather conditions Amtrak Cascades Train 504, 507, and 508 are cancelled. No alternate transportation will be provided.

 

Amtrak Cascades Train 517 will terminate in Seattle (SEA) due to deteriorating weather conditions. Customers are being accommodated on Train 505. Train 517 is currently operating about 1 hr 15 min late.
