Amtrak service may cut as immunization deadline approaches

Impact on the Northeast Corridor could be less disruptive because of busyness The DC-to-Boston route is served by multiple trains and routes daily, and commutes demand has not yet fully recovered. The timing also coincides with slower post-holiday travel times. The Northeast, with higher vaccination rates, is also home to a large number of Amtrak workers. However, any layoffs outside of the Northeast and West Coast could take a toll on the cross-country, overnight routes that run once a day.
