A brief article from the Seattle Times:
Deal for second train from Seattle to Vancouver B.C. announced
A second daily train from Seattle to Vancouver, B.C., could begin service next year, following a deal announced Thursday by the provincial government. A passing track will be added to the BNSF corridor just north of the Canadian border. Currently, there is only one daily Amtrak round trip a day. Buses substitute for the train at other times. "Hopefully, we can get up to four trains by 2012," said Bruce Agnew of the Seattle-based Discovery Institute's Cascadia Center, a longtime advocate for regional rail connections. A provincial spokesman, Mike Long, said additional trains aren't planned now, but even a second train would help people reach the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
