Amtrak Delays Disrupt Holiday Travel Across Northeast Corridor

Power line issues, crew shortages, and equipment problems lead to significant train cancellations and delays from Washington, D.C., to Boston.

Amtrak has warned passengers of major delays affecting the Northeast Corridor during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
Service disruptions have been caused by downed overhead wires, crew shortages, equipment availability issues, and signal problems.
Several trains, including Acela services, have been canceled entirely to reduce overall congestion on the network.
Amtrak has implemented single-tracking in some areas, further slowing operations and creating residual delays.
Passengers impacted by the disruptions can change their reservations without additional charges by contacting Amtrak's customer service.
