I wonder if the passengers will still get AGR credit?

Does this come under the heading of "breach of the contract of transportation?"

So long as Amtrak accommodated those stranded passengers on the next available train, and refunded the Acela premium, I doubt it.

But the incident certainly represented a PR Black Eye that Amtrak could live nicely without.

Incredible. Just incredible. Like someone on the comments said: Didn't the conductor find it strange that no one got on the train in New York?
