Silver Star, Auto Train cancelled in advance of Hurricane Ian

 

By Bob Johnston | September 26, 2022

 

Commuter operator SunRail also to suspend service

 

 

WASHINGTON — With Hurricane Ian bearing down on Florida and the Southeast, Amtrak has cancelled Auto Train in both directions Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 27 and 28.

 

Amtrak also says in an online advisory that the New York-Tampa-Miami Silver Star that departed today (Monday, Sept. 26) is terminating at Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday morning; its northbound counterpart will originate there Tuesday evening. After that, the Star has been cancelled in its entirety Tuesday and Wednesday southbound and Wednesday and Thursday northbound.

 

Amtrak began blocking future bookings and notifying passengers on these trains over the weekend. More cancellations may be possible later this week depending on damage assessments after the storm passes through central Florida and into Georgia.
