        For a nine-day period, from October 16–26, 2026, Amtrak will implement a temporary service outage at “A-Interlocking” to replace aging track components and improve reliability along the Northeast Corridor and into the Southeast. The outage will begin after the close of service Friday, Oct. 16, and conclude before service resumes Monday morning, Oct. 26.

        Amtrak is coordinating closely with partners at Virginia Passenger Rail Authority(VPRA), VRE, and North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to ensure consistent messaging and a seamless customer experience. During the work, Carolinian service will continue with a coordinated bus connection to and from Washington Union Station, allowing customers to complete their trips with a transfer between the train and bus. Amtrak will support customers with rebooking options and alternative travel solutions as well as updates via Amtrak.com and customer channels.
