I wouldn't say it is guaranteed to run but as an intercity operator, I don't believe Amtrak may shut down without the consent of the government. According to CFR 49 U.S. Code § 24101 Amtrak.Findings, mission, and goals part of its responsibility is to operate in times of emergency: As long...

I suppose it is arbitrary, but it was driven by safety after previous crossing failures. Here is a brief quote from - a status letter CN sent after they imposed the restrictions: The reason why I say it is arbitrary is instead of imposing an axle count, CN could reinstitute slower speeds...

https://www.amtrak.com/alert/service-adjustments-due-to-coronavirus.html They cut off the last Acela trips and a few more NEC trains. I'm pretty sure you will see the consists reduced to match demand. They'll probably resemble the winter line up.

Isn't that a private garage? I wouldn't think APD had jurisdiction.

Rivanna and Rocky heading this way on the usual pattern next week.

Amtrak modifies schedules in WI, MI to and from Chicago https://www.wnem.com/news/amtrak-modifies-schedules-in-wi-mi-to-and-from-chicago/article_9a25fb5c-695b-11ea-b8ed-ff10f022a3fd.html

It's not due in PHL until close to 11pm but it may run early.

This has been off the table for a few weeks now. We'll see what the new leader says.

The quoted post from @GaSteve is from 2016. The sleepers are typically in the rear (unless the BHM track work causes them to run around the train at ATL) and business class on the Crescent has been gone for a couple of years. That being said, the concept car is just that. It is a concept car.

There was some wavering but I think it will still occur as scheduled. It'll be a one day trip from the plant to PHL. It will travel over the NS to HAR, then the Keystone Line with the same provisions (waivers) as the move to Pueblo.

In terms of service levels, the NEC has been hit again. No Keystone Service between NYP-PHL, only 1 Acela round trip between WAS-NYP and 1 round trip between BOS-NYP, and with multiple 2-hour gaps in service. The two trains that run exclusively between NYP-WAS have eliminated the cafe car...

Keep on eye on the website. Service adjustments are probably coming.

I'm not sure it would be unfair. I'd really like to know what his interest is and why he'd accept the job and that is something that can be answered without experience or knowledge.

How do you like the concept? :rolleyes:

So much for the 3:00 BOS-NYP that was supposed to occur with the Acela.

:cool:

While this is a Chicago based article, this is the situation that can occur across the system: Some cancellations that have been floated are state-supported services. You can't cancel them without communicating with the state. However, the Long Distance network and the NEC can be altered...

The non-stop service is canceled from 3/10 to 5/26.

I'm pretty sure the AEM-7s weren't doing anything on the NEC in the 70s except testing.
