6th Amtrak Cascades Airo trainset
Author: highballer1

It’s been reported this morning that the 6th cascades Airo trainset is moving towards Philadelphia after leaving Siemens Florin plant. Anyone heard anything about when the other four or at least one, might be heading westbound to Seattle?

It's about time some went into service! This is the middle of the summer travel season.

They're talking about September now for getting the first Airo trainset into Cascades service. I suppose delaying Cascades Airo service a bit to get the expanded Seattle maintenance base that's designed to handle Airos closer to full operation might make some sense, but we'll see. I haven't heard anything about when another set will head west, but I've heard they'd like to have three sets here before putting Airos into operation.

Thank you again Rocky, I’ve heard that very same thing from an insider in Amtrak here in the N W. I try to keep from contacting this person constantly as they have a job to do as well
