MODERATORS
When I lived in Seattle a few years ago, the rail service to Vancouver was terrible. Presumably still is.
Several times a year, the tracks would get shut down by weather or mudslides, and train passengers would be forced onto busses with what can only be described as the world's least comfortable seats.
When the tracks were open, the train was pleasant enough. Not anything like high speed though. Always seemed to have delays.
I took the Amtrak down from this side of the border once and I swear there were pensioners walking beside the tracks faster than the train was going.
