Im currently on the Lake Shore Limited for a quick trip home from Chicago to South Bend (after flying into OHare from the West Coast).
The crew has announced (and I heard something in Union Station) that were skipping Erie, PA due to its record snowfall. No one can safely come to open/close and access the station.
The train also left Chicago 21 minutes down with me arriving to just confusion in the boarding area (hear no announcements on the loud speaker) at 9:15 when normally I can just walk into the train.
Im sitting in an Amfleet I right now - not the normal Amfleet II the lake shore uses thats nice and empty, there even a few empty cars but the conductor has mentioned huge crowds like 50 people boarding in South Bend, 75 in Cleveland, and 110 in Buffalo boarding down line.
Finally this was an in prom-to Amtrak trip. I bought my ticket low bucket under an hour before departure when my flight was early and I realized I could make the train instead of dealing with the longer and more expensively bus ride.
