Second Amtrak Train between Vancouver and Seattle

  Frederick Linsmeyer • July 4, 2009 • Trains

After months of hope that the federal government in Canada would drop the $1,500 CAD fee on a second train, it was announced that the second train would be part of a new pilot project. The additional train would give visitors to Vancouver the ability to extend their stay in the city as well as those heading state-side.

The second train will run from August until the end of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and if there is enough positive feedback, the service would be kept.
