I was happy to read that the Talgo trains are back on the Amtrak Cascades line this week.
That's the route between Eugene, Oregon and Vancouver, BC.
But alas, the Talgo between Seattle and Vancouver is still in the fix-it shop.
Amtrak removed it from service in June for refurbishing and it won't be returned until early 2008.
Simply put, that means the Superliner equipment will still run on that route.
That means no Business Class (meaning you get off first in Vancouver for Canada Customs), no white tablecloth dining service and no movies.
There are also no bicycle racks, so bikes need to be boxed.
Hurry up, Talgo!
The Superliner arrives in Everett, Washington.
