Per KING 5 TV news in Seattle, WA this AM, a freight train derailment Saturday appx 8PM @ Chambers Bay, between Tacoma Narrows bridge & Steilacoom, WA., has both main tracks blocked until at least 1 PM Sunday. Amtrak is bussing from Portland, OR. A N/B freight derailed several cars into a passing S/B freight; some HazMat involved & cars on the beach.
Also per the report, the Empire Builder is stuck in Essex, MT., due to severe weather & a stalled freight train ahead. " No alternate transportation is available at this time,..." per the report.
Hopefully the line to Vancouver, BC., is still operational.
