Just received the below email from Amtrak that the starlight is cancelled for the 13th. I’m assuming this has to do with the track work that has been going on but I haven’t called in to confirm. Definitely puts a wrinkle in my trip as I was planning to take 11 SEA-LAX and return on 14 the next day. Now I just have to figure out what the new plan is.

I have to say I find it ironic that they put “We’ll see you onboard” at the bottom of a cancellation notice as apparently they will not see me onboard.

Hope this doesn’t affect too many people but being summer I think trains are pretty full at the moment.
