Daily long distance service
The recent stimulus package will restore overnight routes to daily status by early June. The real heroes here are actually in Congress because Amtrak leadership would have never restored the affected routes on its own. The really sad thing is that some advocates signaled their willingness to abandon the affected trains or leave them at triweekly status.
Sleepers return to Trains #66 and #67
This is a long overdue move. The only difference is that Washington, D.C. will be the cutoff point. Perhaps, these trains will resume their Night Owl/Executive Sleeper/Federal name and a replacement Newport News-Boston service will take its place in a new timeslot.
