Trains on the Point Defiance Bypass (First Full Day!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Nearly 4 years after the infamous Amtrak 501 derailment, the Point Defiance Bypass has reopened for revenue service, cutting down journey times between Seattle and Portland by around 7 minutes, as opposed to the older route along Puget Sound. Along with the shorter travel time is a newly renovated station in Freighthouse Square in Tacoma, only a couple blocks away from the old station that will be soon be used for Greyhound bus service. Enjoy!

@@West_Cascade_Rail why do you do that!!??!!
Ah, fierce competitors, I see.
Was on the first train over the curve, it was as quiet as space in there for a few minutes
lots of cool shots throughout the new bypass, really nice video, thanks!!!
cascades makes the curve (not clickbait) 😳🤯

Welcome back, Talgo!
Great night shot of the train pulling into the new station in the rain!!!!!
Awesome video
The only thing to hope for Is for the crash in 2017 to never happen again
should be less likely now with PTC implemented
Probably won't happen with PTC fully enabled and all. I hope the reputation of this route won't go even lower.
@@docsrailroad as of right now this line is doing pretty well
It opened after 4 years! How appropriate! In 2017, I was a foamer!
1:49 that's a seriously steep grade!
It’s just grade
Is nice.
By any chance, will the Coast Starlight be using this route regularly?
yup, all amtrak trains switched to the bypass
huzzah
Those Chargers on the Cascades service are not attractive, imo.
they’ve grown on me over the years but the ALC42’s have a better nose
Who here doesn't like the Point Defiance Bypass? :/
a lot because of the downgrade in scenery, but the “new” station is most certainly an upgrade
@@LoowitRail I still hope they can still route passenger trains on the original routing should *ANYTHING* happen on the Bypass. :/
@@jimmyhook4852 they kinda can’t cus the station is disconnected from the mainline, so if there was a problem on the bypass they’d just cancel the trains
@@LoowitRail You never know though. :P
