CHICAGO — Amtrak has canceled several trains in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest today (Friday, Feb. 6), along with a second day of large-scale cancellations in the Northwest.
Canceled today are Chicago-St. Louis Lincoln Service Nos. 300, 302, 305, and 307; Chicago-Pontiac, Mich., Wolverines Nos. 351, 352, 353, and 354; and Chicago-Quincy, Ill., Illinois Zephyrs Nos. 380 and 383. They are part of a series of multi-day equipment cancellations announced previously [see “Amtrak ‘weather-related’ cancellations extended,” Trains.com, Feb. 3, 2026].
An Amtrak spokesman wrote in an email, “We are working to restore service for our state partners and our passengers. This disruption is winter weather-related.”
In the Pacific Northwest, Amtrak Cascades Nos. 516 (Seattle-Vancouver, British Columbia), 518 (Eugene, Ore.-Vancouver), and 519 (Vancouver-Seattle) have been canceled. These are attributed to equipment unavailability and are reportedly related to a freight derailment.
These cancellations come as 20 trains on the Northeast Corridor are canceled for a second consecutive day [see “Amtrak cancels 20 trains …,” Feb. 5, 2026].
