Can anyone confirm any of this? What is the train via Philadelphia??? Broadway Limited or Skyline Connection perhaps?

>>> Schedule changes soon to be formally announced will extend the
Silver Star to Boston along the shore
route in New England. No final confirmation that it will be the Star and
not the Meteor or Palm.

Other changes are that Boston will see more capacity to and from Chicago,
and that New York and Chicago will welcome the return of a full service
long distance train via Philadelphia. The downside mentioned is that New York will lose some overall capacity
to the West with these new shifts made.

Also being mentioned is that the Pennsylvanian will have a change of
schedule for better times in the east, but late night times at Chicago. In Florida word is that the Silver Palm will regain
its old moniker of the Palmetto, and along with that, the attributes of the former's service. The Silver Palm as we know it today will be replaced by the Palmetto as an all-coach, no diner, no sleeping car train, between Tampa and New York. This will reopen Tampa as a maintenance base for servicing the Palmetto.<<<

Does anyone know anything further???

in their daily briefing that it was likely their jobs would be abolished and
new ones created, due to the probable re-routing of the train as Chicago-Boston
only, with sleeper but NO full diner. The rumors about coming changes on this
route have been changing practically every other day, so take this for what it
is, a RUMOR.<<<
