Everything went smoothly at the train station. Check-in, boarding, luggage assistance. A beautiful scenic trip and an on-time arrival.

Extremely disorganized, they are SO short staffed. The one guy who seemed to be the only person working was kind though. For someone who had never travelled with Amtrak, it was very confusing and stressful.

24 June 2025

Delayed arrival due to clash with goods train also needing the time. Arrived over 1.5 hrs late which was very inconvenient for the pickup arrangements in Vancouver. Plus no platform and cramped slow immigration processing after a very delayed journey was pretty primitive.
