A severe snow storm that blanketed much of the East Coast this weekend and caused travel in the region to become hazardous or impossible has affected some Amtrak operations, but trains continue to run on a reduced schedule. Some regularly scheduled Amtrak trains in the eastern region have been canceled in order to permit Amtrak to reposition train equipment and ease congestion along the railroad.
Also, the New York-Savannah Palmetto is canceled today.
In addition to the main spine of the Northeast Corridor, the Harrisburg-Philadelphia line and the Springfield-New Haven line also continue to provide service.
Long-distance trains to the south and west continue to operate but with substantial delays as the railroads over which they operate dig out from the storm and freight train congestion eases.
Amtrak regrets any inconvenience. This information is correct as of the above time and date. Information is subject to change as conditions warrant. Passengers are encouraged to call 800-USA-RAIL or visit Amtrak.com for schedule information and train status updates.
