If you go to Amtrak.com you will see an announcement of all the cancellations at the top of the front page. The storm is moving so fast that probably many of the ones cancelled yesterday are running today.

Lest we forget, there is Ike out there that could make a potential double landfall - First Miami THEN New Orleans.
