When was this? They've recently changed it on the corridor routes so Cascades is mandated to get right of way now. I have taken it about 6 times and haven't had any issues

Oh, years ago now.

give it another shot, Amtrak has upped their game especially on the Cascades cooridor. With the point defiance bypass completed we're now down to 3 1/2 hours to Portland.

Only thing for now - they're currently upgrading their rolling stock for Cascades and they're still using the crappy "Horizon" cars, but the new ones are actually expected this year, and they're supposedly going to be really, really nice
