On Friday, once again 281 terminated in Albany while 283 ventured to Syracuse.   Today 280 originated in Albany while 284 started in Syracuse.    63/64 Maple Leaf still turning in Albany.   Lake Shore Limited did not originate from Chicago, Boston, nor New York on Friday.

They seem to have stopped announcing it each day, but status quo for Saturday.    63 & 281 ended at Albany and 283 to Syracuse.   284 originated in Syracuse, while 64 & 280 started in Albany.  No Lake Shore Limited.

Looks like today, Sunday,  the Maple Leaf 64 is originating on Toronto as normal, and today's 63 is headed there.    And, 281 and 283 are headed west of Albany and Syracuse to their normal terminus of Niagara Falls.  280 and 284 originated from Albany and Syracuse where equipment terminated yesterday, but tomorrow (Monday) should be as normal.   While it's not yet time for them, I would expect the Lake Shore Limited to have its regular departures from Chicago and New York (449 has already left Boston).
