Anybody have any insight, beyond the little info on Amtrak's website, on when the Lakeshore Limited will resume service?

There are a few severe washouts and one possible bridge damage in the area around Fonda NY and Hoffmans NY, on the CSX Water Level Route. Last I heard, yesterday they were working hard to try to fix those ASAP. Don;t know where that stands. As soon as that line gets out of embargo LSL and Empire Corridor ALB - NFL should be restored.

Customer Relations told me today that it will run tomorrow (9/1), and the website shows availability on 449.

Yes LSL is running tomorrow.

Nice....and, whew......

However LSL is expected to get delayed upto 3 hours transiting through the washout area. So be aware of that. That is the reason no Empire Service train has been restored through there yet.
