Winter Weather Cancels Amtrak Trains in Northeast Corridor

Passengers left stranded as more snow and freezing temperatures are expected.

Severe winter weather has forced Amtrak to cancel more than a dozen trains in the Northeast Corridor, affecting travel plans for commuters.
Trains from Boston and Washington, D.C., could not make the trip to New York, leaving passengers with few alternatives.
Affected passengers were promised accommodation on different trains and routes with similar departure times, but this could possibly be a day later.
The snow and cold can affect the trains' electrical and mechanical systems and components, especially the Acela trains.
More snow and freezing temperatures are expected in the Northeast.
