Will affect Amtrak and Tri-Met MAX trains as long as the bridge is closed.

Also river traffic, if the bridge doesn't open.

I just watched the Fox News video listed above.  Not one mention of Amtrak as a user of the bridge.  Everybody else mentioned but Amtrak.  Except for some coverage of the recently-added two additional Cascades round trips between Seattle and Portland, our local new outlets are basically back to forgetting Amtrak, as illustrated by our local holiday transportation coverage last year.

Open for business after inspection, not sure if open for rail traffic though:

Appears #11 and #14 are operating on-time, with #11 south of Portland as of 3:15 pm Pacific Time. So #11 (29) has crossed the bridge......

Just 11,593 feet, or 2.2 miles!  33 loads, 142 empties, 9,321 tons.  Was a triple over Albina to Lake Yard transfer.
