(BCN) — Amtrak will resume full service Monday between Los Angeles and Seattle on its Coast Starlight line after recovering from extensive wildfire damage.
Union Pacific’s Dry Canyon Bridge was damaged by the Lava Fire in July, which affected service between Sacramento and Klamath Falls, Oregon.
Bridge restoration completed two weeks early, and riders can now enjoy rides past Santa Barbara, the Bay Area, Sacramento and Portland before Labor Day weekend.
“Widely regarded as one of the most spectacular of all train routes, the Coast Starlight links the greatest cities on the West Coast,” Amtrak officials said in a news release. “The scenery along the Coast Starlight route is unsurpassed. The dramatic peaks of the Cascade Range and Mount Shasta, lush forests, fertile valleys, and long stretches of Pacific Ocean shoreline provide a stunning backdrop for the journey.”
Riders can view the service’s schedule at Amtrak.com or Amtrak’s mobile app.
