1 Line trains will experience a late-night service reduction from May 1 to May 25

1 Line trains will experience longer headways during late night weekday service beginning Thursday, May 1, to accommodate the combined projects of annual rail grinding and Pinehurst Station construction. Trains travelling northbound from Angle Lake will operate every approximately 15-20 minutes starting at 9:20 PM. Trains travelling southbound from Lynnwood City Center will operate every 15-20 minutes starting at 10:00 pm.

 

Rail grinding, which produces a smoother rail surface that improves safety, reduces noise, vibration, and long-term maintenance costs, will begin on the Angle Lake track between Beacon Hill and Mount Baker stations. Trains travelling in both directions will use the Lynnwood platform at both stations.

 

Signage at the stations will alert passengers as to which platform is affected. Passengers should be aware of the direction of the trains arriving at the stations, as that will be the direction in which the trains will continue.

 

During this time, passengers, businesses and residents may experience noisy conditions. Observers should expect to see localized sparks near the rail-grinding equipment. This is a normal part of the rail-grinding process.

 

Passengers should also be aware that the included rail grinding schedule is subject to change. Passengers should subscribe to rider alerts and visit soundtransit.org for up-to-date information.
