PORTLAND, Ore. - Passengers who travel by train between Eugene and Vancouver, British Columbia, should soon have quicker journeys.

This weekend, Amtrak will return the region's "Talgo" trains to service.

Those cars were taken out of action in August, when inspectors found cracks in the suspension of the linked trainsets.

That meant the use of loaner railcars that operate at slower speeds.

The repaired trainsets will be put back into service one at a time, beginning tomorrow. Repairs are expected to be complete by the beginning of November.
