What kind of schedule does VRE run right now on holidays, full slate or weekend service.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Citing rising expenses, Virginia Railway Express is exploring the possibility of eliminating holiday train service, including operations on Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Martin Luther King Day, and Presidents' Day.
VRE says not running on those days would save up to $140,000 per year in operating costs.
