Amtrak is now operating daily through Northeast Ohio. For the first time since last October the Capitol Limited and Lake Shore Limited ran in both directions early this morning as Amtrak implemented the second phase of its resumption of daily service of long distance trains.
Last week the Texas Eagle, California Zephyr, Empire Builder and Coast Starlight resumed daily operation on May 24.
On May 31, the Capitol and Lake Shore along with the Southwest Chief and City of New Orleans resumed daily operation.
The next round of trains to go back to daily service will be the Silver Star, Silver Meteor, Crescent and Palmetto on June 7.
The Cardinal and Sunset Limited will continue to operate tri-weekly as they have for many years.
In a related development, the Rail Passengers Associated reported it has learned traditional dining car service will return to Amtrak’s western long distance trains on June 23.
On its own website, Amtrak reports only that traditional dining has been suspended through June 30.
More details on the revamping of Amtrak’s dining service are expected to be released this week.
