Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Washington State, in partnership with Amtrak, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Oregon, British Columbia and local communities, is leading efforts to incrementally improve intercity rail service along the Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor. Our goal: to carry 2.2 million people 500 million miles per year (804.5 million km per year) with no traffic congestion, no auto emissions, improved safety and no operating subsidy. We have successfully taken the first steps. This paper outlines why this region is pursuing the incremental approach to improved intercity rail, what we have delivered for our customers, and a detailed update of what we intend to achieve in the coming years.
