This is due to a landslide on the Union Pacific line that shut down the Amtrak Coast Starlight route. As a result, the connecting motorcoach service from Chemult to Redmond was canceled from the end of January 2008 through April 15, 2008.

May 12th we added another round trip between Portland and Eugene.
