Customers affected by these changes can rebook or request refunds without penalties on Amtrak.com, through the Amtrak mobile app, or by calling the Care Center at 1-800-USA-RAIL. At the same time, Amtrak said the safety of customers and team members remains its highest priority, and that these proactive measures help limit exposure to hazardous conditions, protect equipment, and support guidance from state and local authorities advising limited travel during and after the storm, similar to messaging in a winter storm advisory.
