The Hiawatha service, for instance, is the Builder and one corridor train, leaving Milwaukee in the morning and Chicago at the close of the business day. That's representative of the regional routes radiating from Chicago generally. By contrast, the Amtrak Day trimming of service left Milwaukee with three Chicago trips.
Florida's Virgin Brightline have suspended the operation of all trains (the service recently expanding to almost hourly between West Palm and Miami) for the duration. The publicly funded Tri-Rail commuter service continues to operate. Construction of the Brightline extension to Orlando continues.
Craig "Amtrak in the Heartland" Sanders calls the roll of cancellations and curtailments: additional regional routes today, California (just watch the naysayers on that bullet train pile on); ridership on the Chicago hub regional services has almost vanished, prompting the curtailments.
