Exit Centralia, Enter Portland

Departed Centralia 5 minutes late.  Not a big deal, I think we regained part of that down time as the high ball was put to the test.  We screamed out of Centralia, tore through Chehalis before I even had sat down and got connected.  Mitch Read More

PDX to SEA - Amtrak Cascades #508
