Amtrak Shelves 70 Aging ‘Horizon’ Traincars, Upending Cascades Service Indefinitely

A sudden national suspension of Horizon class rail cars has upended service on Amtrak Cascades, forcing some riders onto replacement bus service. The suspension applies to Amtrak’s entire Horizon fleet, which is affecting numerous routes across the country. Amtrak said in a statement today that inspectors discovered corrosion on several Horizon rail cars

Mountain Mindset

A few mountain scenes explored recently around Alpental, WA. Been trying to find more about the geology of this area, I heard a while back these peaks were once the top of a massive volcano mountain that sank becoming very steep and wild low elevation terrain. Washington apparently had 25 super volcanos that have come and gone but identifying the details has been challenging. I have been trying to find some good geology resources for Washington if you happen to know of any?
