What it’s like to take the train from Portland to Vancouver, B.C.

Plenty of people take the Amtrak train from Portland to Seattle, but how many keep riding all the way to Canada? On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, our colleague Veronica Nocera recounts her recent train ride between Portland and Vancouver, B.C. (a route that resumed service in 2023), as well as her weekend north of the border. Nocera, who has taken both a train and a plane between the two cities, offered some insights into the big differences between the two modes of transportation, and whether she’d recommend one over the other for Northwest travelers. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What is the train ride experience like? What to do when you arrive in Vancouver late at night. How to get around the city without a car. A plane vs. train ride is a difference in vibes.  Subscribe to Peak Northwest on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you listen to podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.
