Changes Beneath Ruston

Peter Callaghan of the News Tribune is reporting that Amtrak passenger trains traveling through Ruston will be a thing of the past in a few years. Sounder and Amtrak trains will run south from the station in the future rather than through our Nelson-Bennett tunnel. Train passengers will miss the great water views and the fun of riding through our long tunnel. Don't expect fewer trains, though - freight traffic will increase.
