At 6:00 PM on December 26th, Amtrak posted an alert on its website that all Boston-New York rail service had been cancelled due to the blizzard pounding the Northeast. Earlier that day, though, train 135 for New York and Washington pulls out of New London only a few minutes off the advertised. (Whither the all-weather mode if one of the best physical plants in the country can't handle snow?) Two AEM-7s, 908 and 917, head a nine car train, although if you look closely, only the 908 has its pantograph raised.
