Amtrak’s high-speed Acela service has been suspended

"We have adjusted some services due to significantly reduced demand in key markets."

Amtrak suspended service on its high-speed Acela trains on the Northeast Corridor on Monday, due to reduced demand because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Acela trains travel between Boston and Washington D.C. multiple times a day.

“While Amtrak continues to operate across the nation, we have adjusted some services due to significantly reduced demand in key markets,” Amtrak officials wrote in a press release.

Travelers can still ride the Northeast Regional trains to New York and Washington, D.C., which are operating on a reduced schedule. Downeaster trains, which travel between Boston and Brunswick, Maine, are also operating on a reduced schedule. The company released a list of all trains operating on a reduced schedule and noted that cafe service has also stopped on some trains.
