The Ethan Allen Express train running from New York City to Burlington was canceled this morning due to extreme weather, Amtrak announced in a tweet.
The train, which also makes stops in Albany and Rutland, was scheduled to leave on Monday at 2:21 p.m. from New York’s Penn Station, but flooding across Vermont and New York derailed those plans.
The southbound train to New York still left Burlington’s Union Station as scheduled at 10:10 a.m. Monday, but was delayed by roughly 35 minutes as of 11:29 a.m., according to an Amtrak tweet.
The Ethan Allen Express service runs daily between New York and Burlington, passing through the Hudson River Valley.
The Metro-North Railroad, a rail service in New York and Connecticut, tweeted photos of washed-out sections of railway along the Hudson River. WABC-NY reported there was a “tremendous amount of water” still on tracks after heavy rain Sunday night, causing the suspension of many lines that run along the Hudson River Valley into New York City. The suspensions are anticipated to remain through Monday night, according to the outlet.
