Amtrak has extended some of its service cancellations and modifications in the Northeast into today (Sunday, Jan. 30) in the wake of Saturday’s major winter storm. Most trains are running, as are most of the region’s rail transit systems.
Cancelled today, according to an advisory on the Amtrak website, are Northeast Regional trains 150, 160, 161, and 162 between Boston and New York; Acela trains 2250 and 2253 between New York and Boston; and Downeaster train 690. Modifications include Northeast Regional trains 195 (normally from Boston to Richmond, Va.) and 99 (Boston-Newport News, Va.), which will originate in New York; and Carolinian train 79 (Charlotte-New York), which will originate in Washington.
Updates to transit service include:
— Restoration of all Long Island Rail Road branch line service, although buses are replacing trains east of Ronkonkona and Speonk.
— Restoration of all Metro-North operations.
— Suspensions, reroutes, and some delays on New York City Transit subway lines. Check the MTA website for details.
— Restoration of NJ Transit service, although some cancellations and delays remain possible.
— Restoration of CTrail service on the Hartford Line and Shore Line East, although two early Shore Line East trains were cancelled, as was one bus substitution for Amtrak service on the Hartford Line.
