Amtrak Suspends Several Routes, Reduces Service Schedules

As the impact of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak continues to change daily, Amtrak has once again announced updates to its essential service plans to meet government travel restrictions.

Due to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation that residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut refrain from non-essential travel for 14 days, Amtrak has been forced to change and temporarily suspend routes.

In addition, there are new safety protocols at train stations for customers arriving from out of state. Passengers are being asked to check with each state for specific guidance.

While Amtrak continues to provide essential services along the Northeast Corridor, it has been forced to temporarily suspend several services, including Acela (Boston – Washington, DC), Downeaster (Boston – Brunswick, Maine), Keystone Service (Harrisburg – New York) and more.
