en.Wedoany.com Reported - The first new Amtrak Cascades trainset has arrived in Seattle and will undergo final testing before officially entering service on the route. This trainset is the first of eight new trains scheduled for delivery on the Cascades route, which runs from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to Washington State and Oregon in the United States. Amtrak officials confirmed in a press release that the new trainset is expected to enter commercial operation later this year.

The Cascades trains are an important part of Amtrak's nationwide fleet renewal program. The program involves a total of 83 new Airo trainsets to be deployed on multiple routes across the country. The trains are being manufactured by Siemens Mobility at its facility in Sacramento, California. Before arriving in Seattle, the trainset completed core system verification testing in Pueblo, Colorado, and then traveled to the Northeast Corridor for active track testing. Next, the team will conduct final testing and route trial runs in Seattle.
