Two PVs are on the rear of today's Coast Starlight #11 through Vancouver -- CZ sleeper "Silver Rapids" and dome-sleeper-observation "Silver Solarium".
BNSF has completed the track relocation on the east side of the Vancouver depot. A new Main #2 is now in place where the "lawn" once was next to the station building, and the old Main #2 is now Main #1. The old Main #1 is now stubbed at the asphalt plant.
The old asphalt center platform on the west side of the depot between Mains 1 and 2 has been removed. All Amtrak trains on the Seattle Sub side now use Main #2 closest to the station building for their Vancouver stop, and will cross over to Main #1 as directed.
