Crescent service interruption
The Crescent is apparently suspended MON-THU between Atlanta and NOLA for the next several weeks due to track maintenance.
From the website:
On Monday through Thursday of each week beginning January 10 through February 17, Trains 19 and 20 will not operate between Atlanta and New Orleans, due to track work being performed by Norfolk Southern Railway. Please be advised that service will not be provided to or from intermediate stations.
Southbound Train 19
Train 19, which normally operates between New York and New Orleans, will terminate in Atlanta on the dates shown above. This change affects Train 19 that originates in New York Sundays through Wednesdays, January 9 through February 16, 2011 and arrives in Atlanta the following day. Service will not be provided between Atlanta, Anniston, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Meridian, Laurel, Hattiesburg, Picayune, Slidell and New Orleans. Northbound Train 20
Train 20, which normally originates in New Orleans and operates to New York, will originate in Atlanta on the dates shown above. Service will not be provided between New Orleans, Slidell, Picayune, Hattiesburg, Laurel, Meridian, Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston and Atlanta.
I have a trip on the Crescent this weekend and was surprised to discover this. Fortunately, I shouldn't be affected.
