VANCOUVER - The second Amtrak train running between Vancouver and Seattle will get a one-year extension without a proposed fee being imposed, the federal government announced Thursday.
"We have agreed to extend the service for one year," Public Safety Minister Vic Toews told reporters during a hastily arranged news conference.
The minister said he asked the Canada Border Services Agency to "dig deep and find the money" - about $800,000.
This comes after considerable pressure from both BC and Washington state.
