Amtrak train service between Vancouver and Kelso has been suspended after a landslide blocked the tracks Monday evening.
Heavily saturated land due to continued rainfall led to the landslide in Felida, resulting in a 40-foot-wide section of debris blocking the tracks about 5:30 p.m. Monday, BNSF Railway spokesman Gus Melonas said.
Crews have removed the debris but there is a 48-hour suspension required before the tracks are reopened, Melonas said.
Freight operations have resumed through the corridor, Melonas said, and BNSF will be monitoring the situation.
