Amtrak is welcoming customers aboard its all-new Airo trainsets today as a new era of passenger rail arrives in the Pacific Northwest. Beginning today, two cutting-edge Airo trainsets will join the Amtrak Cascades route, operating four daily trips between Vancouver, B.C., Seattle, Portland, and Eugene and marking the first introduction of Airo trains into passenger service anywhere in the country. As additional Airo trainsets enter service, they will continue to expand across the route, ultimately replacing the existing fleet.

Designed specifically for the Pacific Northwest, the new trainsets feature the signature Amtrak Cascades evergreen, cream, and mocha color palette, along with design elements inspired by the Cascade mountain range. Inside, customers will find more than 300 seats per trainset and a range of features designed to make every trip more comfortable, convenient, and connected.

• Enhanced comfort: Ergonomically designed seating with adjustable headrests, panoramic windows, enhanced lighting and modern interiors
• More ways to stay connected: Complimentary Wi-Fi, individual power outlets and USB-C ports, and digital customer information displays
• Improved accessibility: Accessible seating and features throughout the train, automated steps, enhanced wayfinding and six spacious restrooms with touchless controls
• A refreshed Cafe experience: Food and beverage offerings inspired by the Pacific Northwest

The new trains are marked with a ‘New Train’ tag on Amtrak.com and in the Amtrak app, making them easy to identify when booking.* Two Airo trainsets will begin service today, operating four daily Amtrak Cascades trips:
