From Amtrak
As part of the Spring schedule, Amtrak will restore five routes to full service beginning on March 28, 2022. We continue to work on further frequency additions for the coming months as staffing and other resources allow.
Customers with existing reservations on impacted departures are being notified and will be offered alternative travel options at no charge or a full refund. Most customers impacted by these service changes will be offered same-day travel alternatives. For impacted customers without a same-day option, re-accommodation will be offered within one day of the original departure date.
Spring schedule overview:
- On long distance routes, the following service will be offered beginning March 28:
- 3 departures/week: Cardinal, Sunset Limited (normal service)
- 5 departures/week: California Zephyr, City of New Orleans, Crescent, Empire Builder, Southwest Chief, Lake Shore Limited
- Daily service: Auto Train, Capitol Limited, Coast Starlight, Texas Eagle, Palmetto, Silver Star
- Silver Meteor: Interim service continues to be provided by daily service offered on Silver Star, Palmetto, Carolinian and Northeast Regional
- On corridor services, the following routes will offer increased frequencies beginning March 28:
- Empire Service: 9 departures/weekday between New York City and Albany
- Hiawatha: 7 departures/weekday
- All other corridor routes, including Acela and Northeast Regional, will maintain current frequencies of daily service
The new schedules are now available in all booking channels including Amtrak.com and the Amtrak app—and can be previewed at Amtrak.com/schedules.

"The COVID Pandemic has been and continues to be the biggest challenge faced by Americans as it has taken a deadly toll on the world and on the world’s economies. During COVID Locomotive Engineers at Amtrak and other Passenger and Freight Railroads have embodied the definition of essential workers. This dedication by our members is not new. We applaud the Rail Passenger’s Association for recognizing the vital contributions of our members and their hard work moving Americans and freight during the COVID pandemic."
Dennis Pierce, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) National President
