Cascade Express (Napoleon's World)

Cascade Express is a corridor of high-speed intercity express trains operated by Amrail in partnership wit the states of Washington and Oregon. It began operation in 2008 as continuous high-speed rail service became operable between Tacoma and Eugene - from 2003-2008, it operated as Willamette Express from Eugene to Covenant. With topline speeds of 125 miles per hour for much of its route, it allows travel from Tacoma to Eugene in just under three hours. The train, north to south, stops in Tacoma, East Olympia, Centralia, Monticello, Fort Vancouver, Covenant, Oregon City, Salem, Albany, and Eugene. It is currently one of two high speed rail lines operating on the West Coast, along with California Express.
