WASHINGTON, D.C. – Due to impending winter weather conditions in Virginia and the Carolinas, most — but not all — Amtrak service south from Washington, D.C., has been canceled for Friday.

The Palmetto, trains 89 and 90, are canceled in their entirety between New York and Savannah.

Carolinian trains 79 and 80 will operate only between Raleigh and Charlotte.

All southbound Northeast Regional trains, with the exception of train 67, are canceled between Washington and Richmond and Newport News with no alternate transportation. Northeast Regional train 176 is canceled between Lynchburg and Washington and train 171 is canceled from Washington to Lynchburg.

Silver Service trains between New York and Miami will operate normally.

Amtrak says information is subject to change as conditions warrant. Call 800-USA-RAIL or visit Amtrak.com for schedule information and train status updates.
