Acela150
Super Buff
In keeping an eye of Amtrak Status Maps the Regionals that have traversed the shoreline to and from Boston the past few days have taken an absolute beating.
Monday night Train 169 left almost 3 and a Half hours late. 169 spins from 162. To give you an idea on how things are. 67 left about 30 minutes before 169 a mere 5 minutes late, and arrived into NHV almost 5 minutes early. 3 and a Half hours late puts 169 into DC around 5am.
I believe that trains running the shoreline were run by diesels. Trains consistently lost time all around the board coming or going to Beantown.
Possibly the good thing is that the storm hit on a weekend where Amtrak runs a Sunday schedule on Monday due to MLK Day. Which means Acela service is dramatically down to begin with. But people will use it for an extended weekend somewhere.
