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.

First St tunnel closure late October; WTOP says VRE affected also.
