Amtrak Cascades Replaced by Bus Between Seattle and Portland

August 10, 2026 11:15 AM

Due to a track obstruction caused by an earlier warehouse fire near Portland Union Station (PDX) service between Seattle (SEA) and Portland (PDX) is suspended through Friday, August 14th. Alternate bus transportation is being provided for most scheduled trains. However, some departures have been canceled due to limited bus availability.

All impacted customers have been communicated with directly via SMS, email and push to the Amtrak app. Customers are able to rebook or request a full refund at no additional cost through Amtrak.com, the Amtrak app, or by calling our Customer Care Center at 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245).

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our customers and employees. The city of Portland is providing regular updates and on their website: https://www.portland.gov/centennial-mills/

Customers with reservations on trains that are being modified will typically be accommodated on trains with similar departure times or another day. Amtrak will waive additional charges for customers looking to change their reservation during the modified schedule by calling our reservation center at 1-800-USA-RAIL.

The most up-to-date train status is available on Amtrak.com and in the free mobile app.
