Finally, a sign of growing support in British Columbia for better regional transportation.
Apparently the recent speed record by France’s TGV convinced the Vancouver Province to editorialize today in favor of better passenger rail service between Vancouver and Seattle.
Though Amtrak has already announced extra service, it will take political will for B.C. to provide the funds for track improvements north of the international border that are required for a significantly faster trains. Today’s editorial isn’t quite a full-throated endorsement (it ends with a tentative “All aboard?”) but it’s a start.

For all the passengers who enjoy Amtrak service like myself, I’m sure that all other passengers will be very grateful when Amtrak resumes it’s morning southbound service from Vancouver, B.C.
We will once again enjoy the ride southbound in the a.m. missed for almost 25 years. It will be great to have the cross-cultural activities re-connected with friends and relatives in the great Northwest.
