I moved this back to Amtrak Cascades because it seems to always be called that, even in places like [1] where nothing else has Amtrak before. -- SPUI ( talk) 20:07, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'd like to come up with a table of station stops and scheduling that indicates how a trainset travels throughout the day - the current list of train numbers isn't very readable. I'm looking for something similar to work from, but having little luck. If someone else has any ideas as to how to do this, please discuss them here.
When Station Stops get an overhaul, I plan to place it nearer to the top again.
The Point Defiance Bypass and Vancouver Rail Project maps are from the Washington State Department of Transportation, a public agency, and can be used. Please note the discussion comments in the Pt. Defiance Bypass image page.-- Bensch 23:29, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I've removed the citation of 623,000 riders in Fiscal 2005, as there is no quoted source and I can't find one. -- Bensch
I've added back the 623,000 riders in FY 2005 with a reference. -- callmematthew
Please cite Amtrak's funding of one Cascades round trip. --Bensch
Anyone care to discuss problems of Amtrak timekeeping and its causes? -- Dampflok ( talk) 22:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
"Funding for the route is provided separately by the states of Oregon and Washington, with Union Station in Portland serving as the dividing point between the two. As of July 1, 2006, Washington state has funded four daily round trips between Seattle and Portland. Washington also funds two daily round trips between Seattle and Bellingham, with one of them extending north to Vancouver, BC. Oregon funds two daily round trips between Eugene and Portland."
I thought Amtrak funded one round trip between Seattle and Portland, and Washington funded the other three? Anyone have a citation for the claim of 4 trains funded by Washington? Alphalife ( talk) 07:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't this article give roughly how long it takes between the major stops, and consequently the average speed? TastyCakes ( talk) 15:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I still haven't got any answers about this;
Is that image at King Street Station or somewhere else? The image has been tagged for renaming, and I'd like to be able to give it an appropriate one. ---- DanTD ( talk) 17:15, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
The article previously claimed that this route began in 1993. I'm not sure where 1993 comes from; the first trial run of Talgo equipment wasn't until 1994 and even then the Cascades brand isn't introduced until 1998 when the new US-assembled equipment began running. I think there are two correct answers for the route's start date: 1971, when Amtrak took over from the private railroads; or 1998, when the new equipment and brand were introduced. I think it makes more sense to treat this as a corridor, and to fix the start date at 1971. Otherwise, we should spin off Mount Rainier (train) into its own article. There are definitely enough sources to make that work. Mackensen (talk) 15:32, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
The section's getting really unwieldy and combines both long- and short-term projects. Some of these are completed and some of them aren't and I'm not convinced that all of them (e.g. the various grade separations) are even notable. Does anyone have any bright ideas for a reorganization? Mackensen (talk) 17:29, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi I prepared the map for article - I will be glad for help from editors with two matters:
Thanks Jkan997 ( talk) 22:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Appears, rather, between Dupont and Lacey, no? Anmccaff ( talk) 19:27, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
