Beginning May 23, there will be a Rail Diesel Car(RDC) train providing round trip rail service between Portland, Oregon, and Astoria on the old SP&S (GN and Oregon Electric) line. The train will leave Portland at 7:30 am and arrive Astoria at 11:30am. The route follows the Columbia River for most of the trip, most of it far away from the highway, where motorists normally don't get to travel or see. I have been on both bus and boat, and it is very scenic along the river. The return trip leaves Astoria at 4:30pm and arrives at Portland's Union Station at 8:30pm. The roundtrip fare will be about $48. The trips will operate weekends only--Friday,Saturday, Sunday, Monday. The last run will be September 2. The RDCs are former BC
Rail cars.
