Amtrak’s "Horizon" railcars have been pulled from service due to corrosion concerns, affecting nearly all trips on Amtrak Cascades daily service between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Eugene, Oregon.
Radio Free Ubanism talked about this last week, and they said that Amtrak has already ordered cars to replace these, but they won’t be delivered for another 18 months, so it’s going to be a long period of disruption. There was some talk about Amtrak leasing cars from regional transit agencies (Sound Transit, possibly) to fill the gaps for a while.
