About this buyer

Read more

Sponsors and pays for the Washington share of Amtrak Cascades on the 467-mile Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor, 300 miles of it in Washington, contracting with Amtrak to operate the service — 916,000 riders and $39.888m of ticket revenue in 2025, with total operating costs of $72.421m against revenues of $39.489m and a 54.5 per cent farebox recovery rate on Washington-supported trains. Owns eight Siemens Charger locomotives and the state's short-line freight rail system, runs the state rail plan and the Amtrak Cascades service development plan, administers state rail grant and loan programmes, and co-leads with Oregon the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program, whose transit element is a light rail extension from Portland into Vancouver, Washington. The work sits in the Rail, Freight and Ports Division, which is not carried as a body of its own — see _meta.notes.
