Downeaster (Boston – Portland – Brunswick) and Amtrak Shuttle Service (New Haven, Conn., and Springfield, Mass.,) will continue to operate as scheduled.Customers will be re-accommodated on trains with similar departure times so please check on Amtrak.com or your smartphone app. For customers looking to change reservations for travel during the modified schedule, Amtrak will waive the change fee (customers must contact the reservation center at 1-800-USA-RAIL). Anyone planning to travel should check their train status prior to departing, allow extra time to get to the station and be extremely careful in stations and on platforms. Amtrak is actively monitoring the winter storm and has positioned engineering crews and locomotives at strategic locations along the corridor. Additionally, we are working with tree removal companies to proactively remove limbs and branches that are close to the right of way.
Amtrak regrets any inconvenience. This information is correct as of the above time and date. Information is subject to change as conditions warrant.
From FB: "CETC 1 and 2 issuing instructions to raise second pantograph." <-- most likely due to icing.My MARC train is running about 10 minutes late. Some slow running between Seabrook and Odenton. Not a lot of snow yet, but there might be some ice. About to enter the b&p tunnel.
Yep, people are posting on FB about getting "the call" for tomorrow's 7 & 8I see the Empire Builder has a frequency cancelled each way due to pending weather in Minn/ND. I think tomorrow each way....
