..."Amtrak also plans to update some utilities and build new tracks.
Safety improvements like fall protection will be included for people working in the train yard, Amtrak said.
The work is paid for by the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by Congress in 2021.
Amtrak is still looking for a firm in Seattle to design and build the upgrades.
The train company expects to start work in spring next year and finish in 2027.
That's about when they hope to roll out their new trains."
