The sleepers are not quite in that order but 9214 is still a VL2 (at least today), reference above post

Here is today's 92 consist: 2 engines 5 coaches 1 cafe 1 diner 5 sleepers: 3 Viewliner II's (9210, 9212, 9214), 2 Viewliner I's (9211, 9213) 1 baggage

The website is the only one that will show only the first segment.

I’ve noticed that, for whatever reason, if it’s a multi-segment trip and a portion of it has been canceled, it will only show the first segment of the trip as if it were direct. So here it would be 49 to CHI and 59 to NOL, but instead of showing as “Multiple Segments” like it usually would it...

It is normal for the new schedule, yes. The Southwest Chief (both directions) will only run Wednesday-Sunday, with Monday & Tuesday being canceled through at least March 27th.

Looks like Amtrak is going to go through next weekend with normal service and begin on January 24th with the Southwest Chief being the first train to end daily service. Here is a list of when daily service will end with each train: Southwest Chief: January 24th Lake Shore Limited: January 25th...

Thanks. It looks like from the 3 routes I've searched they all start January 27th, so service next week is unchanged (even though according to NYT it is starting on Tuesday. I am taking 5 departing on 1/23 (which is a Sunday, one of the canceled days) so I hope that remains intact.

Adding onto this, both California Zephyr trains will be canceled Sunday and Monday starting January 27th. So far it looks like service up until then has not been disrupted. The Southwest Chief in both directions is canceled on Monday and Tuesday, also starting January 27th.

Yeah, 19 is only canceled for Saturday and Sunday. I originally said it was canceled for all 5 days because I was looking at NYP-NOL, rather than ATL where it is currently terminating.

Long-distance frequency reductions will start on January 18th according to the New York Times (citing the Amtrak statement), but yet no updated schedules on the website. Still showing daily departures for the long-distance trains. The Silver Meteor is the only schedule to be updated so far. I...

97/98 cancelations start Monday.

It is my understanding that the Star will pick up at least a portion of the Meteor's consist to make up for the lost space. I am on 9212 for my trip that I had to rebook, and the Star usually only has 2 sleepers. This suggests there will be at least 3. 9211 (usually the last sleeper in the...

It was mentioned in a RPA email as being one of the trains affected by staffing shortages. Almost all (if not all) other long distance trains are being cut back to 5 days a week rather than daily as well.

97/98 (Silver Meteor) has been canceled through at least March 28th. Only 91/92 (Star) will run during that time.

The agent that I spoke to today in order to rebook my trip because of 98 being canceled said that they would not charge me more if the price was higher than what I paid.

Will be interesting to see which 2 days get cut from the long-distance routes. I have 49 on a Saturday (1/22) and 5 on a Sunday (1/23) booked currently so I'm hoping I don't have to rebook again once those schedules get updated. The article says the cuts to NE Regionals start January 24th, hope...

I can confirm the additional sleepers. I just rebooked on 92 and my car assignment is 9212, so there will be at least 3.

Looks like starting January 17th 97/98 is not available until at least March 28th. My trip on 98 was just canceled for the 17th. I plan on rebooking on 92 for Thursday and overnighting in NYC to catch 49 and 5 (hopefully avoiding the disruptions of this winter storm)

Wasn't aware of that, thanks for pointing it out. In that case, the route is only canceled for 1/15. I was looking at NYP-NOL which is why it showed canceled for that long.

I just looked and it appears that both 19 and 20 have been canceled for January 15th - January 19th (all 5 days) EDIT: I was looking all the way to New Orleans. I wasn't aware that it usually terminates in ATL around this time. The route is only canceled for January 15th.
