HURRICANE SANDY UPDATE

All trains on the Broadway Limited will be operating Chicago-Boston instead of Chicago-New York, due to trackage problems between New York and Albany.
New York-Springfield Shuttle trains will only be operating to New Haven. Only 2 round-trips will be operating today. All other passengers may use the Metro-North to Stamford and points south.
