The wider storm

Seven freight cars were knocked off the tracks by a mudslide near Everett. After each mudslide, passenger trains must wait 48 hours before resuming travel. Due to a wet December and several small slides, passenger service on the route from Everett to Seattle has been cancelled more times than in any previous year. No passenger trains ran from Dec 18th through Jan 2nd. Over the month just over a million dollars had been spent cleaning up the route.

Began near Everett (47.9800, -122.2000).
