They barely have enough serviceable/available dual powered locos on the Empire corridor as it is. A few weeks ago I was observing the AM rush in Toronto and saw the Maple Leaf: with Genesis #10 supplying the power. On a trip to/from Niagara Falls a few years ago, we had to change power in Albany either going or coming (I forget) due to a shortage of dual modes.Yes, Amtrak can go via Springfield but you still have a potential of fallen trees on the track. If a train hits one you can derail/damage the engine/injure the crew. It can cause of brake pipe rupture. I know a tree can fall anytime but in the case of a hurricane the odds are greater. Did the weather people blow (no pun intended) this? Certainly. Continental airlines cancelled 60 flights according to NY Daily News story. All these agencies listened to the best sources they had available. |
