Mudslides Blocking Tracks North of Olympia


June 02, 2018

 

Due to mudslides blocking the tracks north of Olympia, the BNSF has placed a  48-hour moratorium on passenger train traffic between Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. As a result, there will be no service between Portland and Seattle until Monday the 4th  of June with no alternate transportation.   

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.

 

To be notified of service disruptions on the Northeast Corridor (including Acela Express, Northeast Regional  and other corridor services), follow @AmtrakNEC on Twitter. 

 

Amtrak in their infinite wisdom, offers at the end of the press release the ability to be notified about Acela Express and Northeast Regional service disruptions.  Would someone living in the states of Washington or Oregon affected by mudslides really care about that? Maybe it's time for Amtrak to expand their Twitter alert coverage system-wide.
