Today, U.S. Representative Rick Larsen praised reports that the Canadian government announced that the Canada Border Services Agency has come up with the $800,000 in border inspection costs to keep a second Amtrak train running between Vancouver and Seattle. Larsen has been fighting to ensure this train remains in service.

"Keeping the second Amtrak train in service is a great news for our economy and for folks in both the U.S. and Canada," said Rep. Larsen. "Local commuters and tourists will be able to use this train to travel more efficiently around the region and fuel the local economy by spending their dollars in communities on both sides of the border."
