As promised, the schedule of test runs can change. Today's did. The test ended at Vancouver, WA, and is making the return trip from there. Because the schedule is off, there are no times to share for the northbound run. Catch it in the wild if you can.

For those asking about the new trains: nearly all the trains are still being built. They have to go through rigorous testing in multiple locations. The first trainsets will begin testing here in this spring. All the new trainsets are scheduled to be in service by the end of this year. 💚🤎🤍

Photo of a new Amtrak Cascades train taken from a low angle with tall grass in the foreground. The image was taken at sunset or sunrise and the golden light reflects off the railroad tracks under the train. The train is the Amtrak Cascades Evergreen color in the front with gold accent trim color and cream color on the rear half of the locomotive. There is an Amtrak Cascades Mocha colored band along the bottom edge of the locomotive. The rest of the train appears smaller in the background due to the low angle of the photo. There is one small white/golden cloud in the upper right corner of the image. The sky is blue and fades to dusky gold near the horizon.
