Railway Age, 1/19/24:

 

 

  Winter Puts the Brakes on Amtrak    

 

 

Jan. 18 was not a good day for Amtrak, on either end of the Lakeshore Limited route, and in other places, too. Many Amtrak trains in the Midwest did not operate, and half of the Acela trains on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) were canceled, as well. Some trains elsewhere, like the Empire Builder, did not run, either. The cancellations and delays were expected to last at least through Friday, Jan. 19, if not beyond that.
