Join us for our second annual on-train meeting and trip on the Amtrak Cascades to and from Portland. We will be riding Cascades 501 south and returning on train 508 in the evening.

We will work with Amtrak staff to make sure you're boarded at the right coach with us, whether you get on at Seattle or further south.

There is an optional excursion on the Oregon Pacific Railroad. Details are in the finalization stage and may include a joint AAWA-AORTA picnic at Oaks Park, More details to follow later.

Remember, you are responsible for your own Amtrak tickets to Portland. Families and friends are welcome on this trip.
