Further delays are occurring on a vital rail line for travelers in the north. Amtrak will temporarily suspend service on its Adirondack route between Saratoga Springs and Montreal later this month as Canada’s national carrier works to repair tracks that caused major problems for travelers last year. The Albany Times Union reported that Canadian National will work to repair 45 miles of track north of the U.S.-Canada border. Amtrak announced that service on this portion of the Adirondack route will be suspended from May 20 to June 30 while construction is carried out. Problems plaguing the line extension prompted CN to impose a 10 mph speed limit on trains along the line last summer. The Times Union cited a social media post from the Empire State Passenger Association saying the line outage will allow CN to repair the tracks and hopefully prevent the outage. ESPA said the service will not affect portions of the Adirondack route between New York City and Saratoga Springs, including during the June 8 Belmont Stakes.
