One of the new AMTRAK CASACDES Talgo sets have arrived in Seattle. It is parked on the first stub track at King Street Station. One of my fellow T&R guides commented yesterday, as we were about to depart on#11 the Coast Starlight, that it "looked like it was severely beaten with an ugly stick". I can't say that I disagree. I guess my comment it that it is so ugly its cute.
I wonder when these will go into service? I know AMTRAK has announced additional CASCADES service from Seattle to Bellingham while the I-5 bridge in Mount Vernon is out. Perhaps they will get their inaugural run on those?
