WASHINGTON — While Amtrak’s string of weather-related cancellations in the Midwest is officially over, the company continues to deal with a pattern of equipment issues on the Northeast Corridor.
Six Acela trains have been cancelled to begin today (Jan. 24, 2025) because of “equipment unavailability,” while a seventh has been scrubbed because of mechanical issues. Four Northeast Regional trains have also been cancelled because of equipment unavailability, according to posts on the Amtrak NEC Alerts feed on X.com.
The cancellations announced as of 6:50 a.m. ET include New York-Washington Acelas Nos. 2103, a 5:30 a.m. departure, 2107, a 6:30 a.m. departure, and 2121, a 2:15 p.m. train; Boston-Washington train 2155 (7:15 a.m.); Washington-New York trains 2108 (10:30 a.m.) and 2122 (5:30 p.m.); and 2172, a 4 p.m. Washington-Boston train. Northeast Regional cancellations are Nos. 111 (New York-Washington, 4:50 a.m.), 119 (New York-Washington, 11:13 a.m.), 130 (Washington-New York, 6:30 a.m.), and 182 (Washington-New York, 9:35 a.m.).
Today’s cancellations follow four on Thursday, Jan. 23, for “equipment issues” or “equipment unavailability,” and six on Wednesday Jan. 22, for the same reasons. Another five were cancelled for the same reasons on Tuesday, Jan. 21, in addition to one cancelled between Newark, N.J., and New York because of “ongoing delays resulting from mechanical issues.”
