On August 27, 2004, Amtrak, in a special advisory, announced that all mail and express service would be eliminated by early October. As of early October, many boxcars were been stored. RoadRailer service at Philadelphia had been terminated. There were still reports of sporadic equipment moves, though except for refrigerated ExpressTrak moves, these were generally empty equipment moves.
