[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [QB] NARP reported today: Effective with the northbound departure of train #14 from Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 15, and the southbound departure of train #11 from Seattle on Wednesday, April 16, * Amtrak will operate a full-service Coast Starlight between Los Angeles and Klamath Falls, OR. * A bus bridge will operate between Klamath Falls and Eugene (stopping in Chemult). * A connecting coach-and-café train will operate between Eugene and Seattle. * All of the above will carry local passengers in both directions. * Thruways between Klamath Falls-Medford and Chemult-Bend-Redmond will be restored. * The Klamath Falls-Pasco Thruway connection to the eastbound Empire Builder will also be restored. (The westbound connection is made at Portland.) The Pacific Parlour cars (for sleeper passengers) are undergoing renovation for the relaunch of the Coast Starlight and are not scheduled to operate. Amtrak has not announced a decision on when to relaunch the Coast Starlight with upgraded amenities, but signage in certain stations advertise a "mid-2008" relaunch (previous literature had advertised May 10 as the relaunch date). Union Pacific continues to make progress on rebuilding the railroad and limited freight train service has resumed. UP has not committed to a date for allowing the Coast Starlight to use the route as the mountain is still unstable. In other news, events for National Train Day on Saturday, May 10 are taking shape. You can visit a special page on NARP's website to get information about events across the country. Get involved! [/QB][/QUOTE]
