    It's supposedly offical now. The UP finally signed off for the 2nd talgo train to Eugene.
    They have been laying new rail and hopefully ties and resurfacing for the Brooklyn Sub. Maybe the UP will finally see that if they work with the states and Amtrak they can reap some benfits from allowing passenger service.
    Not sure on exact times but should be about 5:30pm dpt from PDX into Eugene around 9pm and a 9am dpt from Eug and 1130am arrival into PDX

    Great news! Every new train or extension helps. Got a long way to go, but every little bit helps. Reggie

    Now all we need is a second train into Vancouver [​IMG]

    I think AMTK has done a bang up job with the Talgos, I believe ridership is up and people always come off the train with a smile on there face. Service is nice, and cars are semi-nice. Not only were there cars giving a smooth ride before, but with all this track work it is even nicer ride now!

    Happy Railroading,
