Unaffected.
Correct. Amtrak will most likely put folks who are on 79 east of WAS on 185 which is the first scheduled train to WAS on the 27th.
They most likely turned the sets as soon as they arrived in BOS/NYP back to ALB. Or put folks on separate trains to BOS/NYP.
Sorry about confusion. This was the lsl departing Chicago Monday night arriving Albany on Tuesday. I was in union station and was providing updates based on my location.
When I arrived in BAL on my way home from work (Tuesday 1/27), I saw that the Silver Meteor was running, although they were showing a 15 minute delayed departure.
I brought my bags down to the station this morning. 67 was running, but about 20 minutes late. (It was running 40 minutes late at 4:45 AM when I got up and checked for work closures and MARC conditions.) I decided to check it this morning instead of this evening, because I didn't know what 67 would be doing tomorrow. I had to wait around for the baggage guy (this was around 6 AM), but when he arrived, he was very helpful, and got my bags on 67 (with a little help from another woman who was working with him. He just checked them to Chicago, where I'll pick them up and check them on the Lamy. I had to ride down on 67 because I missed two MARC trains while waiting to check my bags. When 67 came in, the BC car was in the front of the consist, but the baggage car was in the rear. The baggage handler and conductor conferred, and as a result the conductor took the bags into the BC car, and carried them further down the train. Coach seats were facing to the rear, BC seats were facing forward. The train was not very full. Lots of Amfleet consists parked on the tracks in the WUS lower level.
The wags are calling the storm in NYC a "Snoreaster".
Look for the semaphores in northern New Mexico, west of Raton Pass and east of Albuquerque.
Maybe in NYC and south, but north of there it was a full blown blizzard with 2-3 feet of snow and 75 mph winds!
Hope the HEP kept you warm and dry in TPS!
Now the news is that de Blasio is angry with Cuomo for shutting down HIS city before he had a chance to. Sounds like politics as usual as someone in Albany knows what is better for the city than the mayor does.
Checking the Second Avenue Sagas blog, which focuses on NYC transit and, of course, the plans for the Second Avenue subway line, I see there are a number of very unhappy New Yorkers about the subway getting "shut down" when MTA had a comprehensive snow plan in place to keep running core service. Gov. Cuomo is not popular with the transit crowd in NYC right now. Even less than he was before.This is a direct consequence of NY City having lost control of its transit system to Albany during its bankruptcy. The Governor unfortunately does not need to take the city's permission to do what he pleases in his fiefdom known as MTA.
