Amtrak to Add New Leavenworth Station

Great news for folks who like Leavenworth! Amtrak will be adding service to the town with the Empire Builder. This is historic, since Leavenworth was bypassed with the Chumstick Cutoff in the 1920s. No tracks run through the town anymore, but the BNSF Stevens Pass line runs close enough for bus service.


For people like me who love Leavenworth, this comes as great news because it means my family can take the train there rather than drive. And someday we will!
