OLYMPIA — Officials with the Washington state Department of Transportation say they hope to launch a second train this month from Lacey to Vancouver, British Columbia.
Andrew Wood, the agency’s deputy state rail and marine director, says the train would originate in Portland, depart Lacey at 4:38 p.m. daily, stop in Tacoma and Seattle and arrive in Vancouver, British Columbia, about 10:45 p.m.
Wood says the additional train will serve the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. But he says it’s also part of a long-term DOT goal to expand service to Canada by up to four trains by 2025.
