Wed 5 extra RTs

SEA – PDX
as of oct 23 ~~ 3 round trips out of 5 sold out SEA – PDX Wed & Sun
no extra trips yet
As of Nov 1st Amtrak & Washington Dot has added one RT on WED & 1 SUN only. They appear to be much more conservative this year. Maybe more later if the trips get very full ?
Note: Enroute times appear to not be Talgos. Wonder where Oregon’s Talgos are ?

They’ve sometimes ran an extra Cascades round trip. Any word on this? They usually have P32BWHs, and Amfleet or Horizon cars, goodies that we don’t often see up here…

update # 2 of original post
As usual the business class is selling out first/
Essentially 4 RTs NYP - ALB business class sold out sunday
If Amtrak can ever get enough equipment maybe they will start adding another business class car to high demand trips ? ?
