Nearly 2 1/2 years since Amtrak's cars went quiet at the beginning of the pandemic, passenger trains between Seattle and B.C. are set to return this September. The target date is a speedier one than had previously been announced; Amtrak said earlier it would not cross the border until December, highlighting staffing and equipment shortages. That timeline displeased state transportation officials. Roger Millar and Kris Strickler, the top transportation leaders in Washington and Oregon, respectively, called a December restart 'unacceptable,' citing the return of service in other parts of the country.
