It’s recovering a lot faster than expected, the missing Acela and Regional trips should be resumed asap.

I’m sure they’ll restore more service when they have the qualified T&E to run the trains. I believe there’s a class that should be qualified sometime next summer. Don’t know if there are any classes that will be ready before then.

Seems like it shouldn't take so long to Qualify T&E workers for the NEC .

Like to hear from Steve on this!
