NOTE
Unfortunately, the coach we were sat in had what's called a 'flat wheel' where part of the wheel is not quite as round as it should be. This is responsible for the 'thudding' that can be heard on the audio track. Apologies for this. If it's disturbing your enjoyment of the video, turning down the bass and/or volume may help. Thank you

Thank you to Ewan for helping to confirm the identity of the locomotive featured in this video.

So nice to see the full journey here on TH-cam.

[@SheryllRegacho]

Canadian Railway looks like Hogwart Express

[@elliebean368]

The fact that we don't even reach Bellingham, the first station stop on American soil, until well over HALFWAY through the video is honestly amazing

[@someguyontheinternet9683]

we really need to get priority over freight

[@RH1N0______13]

@@someguyontheinternet9683no y’all don’t 💀

[@lalalondon5602]

Were the ESTAs all you needed? Seeing conflicting info online. I have an ESTA from a precious trip but some sites saying I still need to pay for an I-94?

[@IC82Hillford]

We only needed ESTAs. Never heard of an I-94. This was 2017, so whether something has changed or not I'm not sure.

[@93KAVINMANI]

Did the train stop in Everett/Edmonds station?

[@textiles9562]

When was this, I can tell it’s at least a couple years old

[@IC82Hillford]

The date of the trip is shown on screen @5:20 and was basically Summer 2017.

[@textiles9562]

IC82 World oh my bad

[@Sophie_kent]

how early did you arrive at station?

[@IC82Hillford]

We were there about 1 hour before the train was due to depart.

[@DocFlareon]

I would like to mention that this particular set of rolling stock was destroyed in a fatal derailment(due to excessive speed) accident in December of 2017.

[@IC82Hillford]

Yikes!!!

[@AguadillaCGN]

yes that was the railstock but not the locomotive

[@rafterman3712]

Wasn't that incedent at Dupont ?

[@DocFlareon]

@@rafterman3712 Between Lakewood and DuPont if memory serves.

Yes it does Amtrak Cascades is sponsored by the states of Washington and Oregon. Lots of business and personal travel happens between Washington State and British Columbia ever day. Amtrak also runs to Montreal from New York City and in partnership with VIA Rail to Toronto from New York City.
