henry6 If it were only that easy. First, is equipment availability in the right places? Second, crew availability in the right right places? Third, CSX having slots to put them in over the single track from Albany to Boston? Even in an emergency. Maybe even CSX crew availability could be a factor?

Amtrak announced 2 round trips from BOS - New Haven today (sat )
Reservations does not have anything yet available for Sunday or Monday.
Even though it would be almost 9 hrs to go BOS - ALB - NYP or opposite I cannot see why AMTRAK does not offer thru cars NYP - ALB - BOS using Lakeshore and Empire service ?. In fact maybe even running an extra section train ?

This is one more reason to have an alternate route BOS - NYP
