I'm gathering the day you rode to Seattle was actually the LAST day those trainsets were in operation before being pulled due to defect problems, so you squeaked in quite lucky in that regard. However, I recall you mentioning that you planned a side trip to Vancouver, which likely got sacked as a result of the pulling of the Talgo sets, and the slack time in fielding a small fleet of Amfleets to replace them. I hope that you enjoyed the journey, but hope you were able to salvage something of the Vancouver plans following the chaos regarding the Talgo sets' defects.
