Amtrak Cascades is easily recognizable from it's signature green, white, brown, and beige paint scheme to the trains' unique Talgo train-sets. Before the Cascades though, the Pacific Northwest region of America was a tough to get-to location for the early railroad pioneers. If it weren't for the determination of Great Northern Railway tycoon James J. Hill, we may not have the route we know today. But what else led up to the creation of Amtrak's Cascades service and where did the Talgo's come from? In this video, I take a look at how the railroads of America made it out west and how Amtrak got the route it runs today!
