Modified Service Due to Winter Storm Fern

January 21, 2026 11:15 AM

 

Out of an abundance of caution, and in consultation with our contract meteorologists, host railroads, and local officials, Amtrak is notifying customers of service cancellations due to predicted dangerous weather conditions. Customers are being offered rebooking options and refunds without penalties. The safety of our customers and our team members remains our highest priority. We are taking these proactive steps to limit exposure to hazardous conditions for our customers and team members and to protect our rail equipment. We are also aligning with and supporting state and local authorities who are advising the public to avoid travel during this winter storm.
