You can still use your SLE tickets on regular Amtrak runs between OSB and NLC - but IIRC only on 2 trains. But they are Amtrak trains - not SLE trains - between the 2! And since they are Amtrak trains, and those are not running, there is no rail service during the closure between OSB and NLC!
One train listed as going to New London on
http://www.shorelineeast.com/trains.htm , and another listed on the eastbound timetable, are not labeled as Amtrak trains, and do not show up if you do an Amtrak search between NLC and OSB. Is this in error?
