Amtrak extends delay for Cascade service between Portland, Seattle due to landslide
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A massive landslide on Tuesday forced Amtrak to suspend its Cascades service between Portland and Seattle for what they thought would be a couple days.
Two days later, the slide is still blocking the tracks – potentially delaying the service until Friday.
