Amtrak Cascades train service between Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, B.C., has begun.
Portland-to-Vancouver trains depart Portland’s Union Station daily at 2:50 p.m., arriving in Vancouver at approximately 10:45 p.m. Southbound trains depart Vancouver at 6:40 a.m., arriving in Portland at 2:45 p.m.
Formerly, those traveling by train from Portland to Vancouver had two choices: either disembark in Seattle and continue to Canada by Amtrak motorcoach or stay overnight in Seattle and catch a Vancouver-bound train the following day.
The scenic Amtrak Cascades route links several major Pacific Northwest cities, including Eugene and Portland, Ore., Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., and Vancouver, B.C.
