Amtrak Service Alert:

 

Tropical Storm/Hurricane Nate affects Amtrak New Orleans Services  

 

Amtrak New Orleans Service Disrupted
Sunset Limited, Crescent and City of New Orleans trains affected


Oct. 6, 2017
1:00 p.m. CT

In consultation with the railroads that own, maintain and control the tracks to and from New Orleans, Amtrak is making temporary changes in service this weekend due to Tropical Storm Nate, which is forecasted to become Hurricane Nate along the Gulf Coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

 

• Sunset Limited (Trains 1 & 2) will terminate and originate in San Antonio instead of New Orleans, with no alternate transportation available between San Antonio and New Orleans. Trains 1 & 2 normally operate three-days-weekly between Los Angeles and New Orleans.

 

• Crescent (Trains 19 & 20) will terminate and originate in Birmingham instead of New Orleans, with no alternate transportation available between Birmingham and New Orleans, effective tomorrow (Saturday) southbound and in both directions on Sunday. Trains 19 & 20 normally operate daily between New York City and New Orleans.

 

• City of New Orleans (Trains 58 & 59) will terminate and originate in Jackson, Miss., instead of New Orleans, with no alternate transportation available between Jackson and New Orleans, effective tomorrow (Saturday) southbound and in both directions on Sunday. Trains 58 & 59 normally operate daily between Chicago and New Orleans

 

Amtrak regrets any inconvenience. This information is correct as of the above time and date. Information is subject to change as conditions warrant.

 

 

Note:  I found this on the Amtrak Twitter page;  it doens't seem to have been posted on Amtrak.com.
