Amtrak to Operate Modified Schedule on Wednesday, Jan. 22 on Northeast Corridor, Empire and Keystone Lines

Reduced schedule to minimize impact on travellers

With extreme weather conditions impacting the Northeast, Amtrak will operate a modified schedule on the Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston, the Keystone Service (New York-Harrisburg, Pa.) and the Empire Line between New York City and Albany on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014.

Acela Express and Northeast Regional service will operate between Boston and Washington, though passengers should expect reduced frequencies. Service will also operate on the Empire Line between New York City and Albany and on the Keystone line between New York and Harrisburg, with reduced frequencies.

Passengers holding reservations that require modification are being accommodated on other trains and proactively notified by Amtrak Customer Service. A range of tools - including Amtrak.com, smartphone apps and 1-800-USA-RAIL - are available to assist in travel planning.

Other corridor services, including the Amtrak Downeaster (Brunswick, Maine - Boston) and the Springfield Shuttle (New Haven, Ct. - Springfield, Mass.), are expected to operate a normal schedule.

Passengers who have paid but choose not to travel due to this service disruption can receive a refund or a voucher for future travel. Some reservations booked online can be modified or canceled on Amtrak.com or by using the free Amtrak mobile app.
