An Amtrak train traveling from Portland, Oregon, to Vancouver, B.C., came to a halt and lost power for hours north of Seattle due to a mechanical issue on March 29. Passengers aboard the Amtrak Cascades Train 518 were left in the dark Friday night and into early Saturday morning. "We're all stuck there for four hours and the power wasn't working. The bathrooms weren't working," said Polly Vel, a passenger. Vel and her friends got on board in Portland to see the Timbers play in Vancouver, but it soon turned into a travel nightmare. "Ended up 17 hours on a train ride, it should have been just under eight hours," Vel said. Vel said the train had a delay not long after leaving Portland, but once it passed Seattle and got to Edmonds, passengers said it came to a complete stop.
