I just got a call from Amtrak stating that there has been a change to Train 169. Apparently the weekend work being done around BWI Thurgood Marshall Rail Station was extended, affecting this train on Saturday, November 10th. Bottom line: If you are going as far as New York City, you still will have Business Class and a cafe car. If you are going south of New York City you will have to change there to Train 1169. Train 1169 has no Business Class and no cafe car, and it goes only as far south as Baltimore. No alternate transportation is offered to BWI, New Carrollton, or Washington. I was offered to remain in BC, but from New York to Metropark I have to move to a coach seat on another train. Those who are also taking 169, let me know what your plans are. I may just downgrade to CC if that is where the others will be. The comfort is offset by the change of trains, and I'm entitled to a partial refund anyhow.
