Amtrak Cascades service has been fully restored, with all trains between Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., back and running on schedule.

Driving the news: Service on the route was restored Sunday, Amtrak spokesperson Kelly Just told Axios .

Catch up quick: The regional line was disrupted for nearly two weeks after Amtrak pulled its Horizon cars due to corrosion issues, replacing some trips with buses.

Amtrak was forced to bring in replacement cars from other parts of the country while the Horizon cars were shipped east for repairs, officials said.

Yes, but: The trains have limited replacement cars with fewer seats, so Amtrak is urging travelers to book early.
