SEATTLE (AP) — Burlington Northern Santa Fe says landslide experts determined Monday that a slope near Mukilteo is stable and passenger train traffic can resume on the rail line.
Spokesman Gus Melonas (muh-LOH’-nus) says Amtrak and commuter Sounder trains can resume rolling after 8 a.m. Monday over 50 feet of track that was covered by Saturday’s mudslide. The track was cleared Saturday for freight trains, but passenger trains have to wait 48 hours after a slide.
The slide interfered with Amtrak travel north of Seattle and Monday morning’s Sounder commuter service from Everett.
