Here's an update on the CSX trackwork affecting the Boston portion of the lakeshore limited! 448 goes Eastbound and 449 goes Westbound..

Train 448 will terminate in Albany, NY and they will be Ambussing to Boston on the following days:

May 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 15th


Train 448 may experience 20-30 minute delays between May 18th and June 19th

Train 449 may experience 20-30 minute delays on May 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, and 29, Also June 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19th

Train 449 may experience 30-45 minute delays on May 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 16th

Train 449 WILL NOT run between BOS and SPG June 11th-19th!

I saw the CSX work train between Albany and Pittsfield on the 4/27 and 4/29. I will try to get pictures next time I'm on the lakeshore. I'll also try to find out the milepost where I saw the work train so someone can get better pictures!

My wife and I are planning on riding the Lake Shore Limited on July 2nd and 3rd. I am worried that they may cancel our train. I sure don't want to ride a bus. Please let me know if you find out anything about those dates.

Thank you

Glad these posts help someone out! I'll keep an eye open for those dates and let you know as soon as I see any new postings. I pass through the stations on the Lakeshore's route pretty often so thats where I see the posters. I think you'll be okay in July.. the trackwork may be done by then!

I want to say that it hasn't, but I can't be sure. The only other Amtrak train that would be affected is the inland NEC train "the bay state." Haven't seen or heard anything..

If any work is being done between Springfield and Palmer, the Vermonter would also be affected. Of course, it has been suspended because of bad tracks north on the NEC.
