Feb. 11, 2014

* Northbound and Southbound Crescent, Trains 19 and 20

AP via WTOP radio, 2/12:

Amtrak suspends some trains ahead of winter storm

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Amtrak is suspending some trains as a winter storm threatens the South and the Northeast.

Amtrak says the suspensions Wednesday are meant to reduce the exposure of passengers, crews and equipment to extreme weather.

The suspensions include trains between New York and several destinations in the South and the auto train between Washington's northern Virginia suburbs and Orlando, Fla. Amtrak says other services, including the Northeast Corridor, are scheduled to operate.

Did anyone tell Amtrak that their southbound Silver Meteor is Train 97, not 98? These suspensions for Wednesday are mostly trains in the Southeast. I would expect that by Thursday when this storm moves into the Northeast that we see some or all trains cancelled on the Northeast, Downeaster, Keystone, and Empire Corridors. Stay tuned!
