Traffic is up to 6 - 8 trains a day on the Stampede Pass line, almost always Eastbound coal and grain empties. While this may not sound like much, it does help alleviate congestion at Cascade Tunnel on the Stevens Pass line. Of course these trains rejoin the ex - GN Highline at Spokane, but it still keeps Stevens Pass fluid for Z - Trians and other priority runs to / from Puget Sound.
