There is clear demand for Oregon rail. We broke records with reduced capacity trains. My recent trip back to Albany sold out To accompany our modern train fleet, #orleg should invest to increase the number of daily trips & improve the tracks #oregon #amtrak #trains #urbanism #transitsky

Wow, that's really low ridership for Oregon if those numbers are correct. Maine has higher Amtrak ridership than this. I can't imagine AORTA's data is correct.

Heading to Portland on a new train. It’s nice. Interesting: the little seat reservation screens are in fact used after they scan your ticket.

Good news! New credit card devices will begin being installed on trains by the end of the year and they should be on all Amtrak Cascades trains by Spring 2027. Thanks for raising this issue!
