Double track plus partial third main is working right now between Seattle & Portland. 3 mains between Argo & Black River, due to BNSF buying the U.P. main between these points with money they received from Sound Transit. Also 3 mains in Tacoma; both areas have freight yards & congestion. Coming soon,thanks to monies returned from Ohio & Wisconsin, a 3rd track in the Kelso - Longview area, again to get around freight train congestion. Amtrak has also benefited from a state - funded longer siding in Stanwood, between Everett,WA & Vancouver,B.C.
