HURRICANE KATRINA INFORMATION REVISIONS:

The Hurricane Katrina Service Information shown on the main page will be revised, since the stations of Houston, Beaumont, Lake Charles, Lafayette, New Iberia, Schriever, New Orleans, Slidell, Picayune, Hattiesburg, and Laurel have been restored to active service. The stations east of New Orleans, however, through Lake City, Florida still remain suspended until a date to be announced. The City of New Orleans, Sunset Limited-West, and Crescent Information is contained in the tables below: The city codes HOS (for trips to and from LAX and NOL via the direct route), BMT, LCH, LFT, NIB, SCH, NOL, SDL, PIC, HBG, and LAU are restored and the grids for the City of New Orleans/Illini will show the changes.

58	New Orleans	13:45	NOL
59	New Orleans	15:32	NOL

The Crescent adjustment is as follows:

19	15:47	Laurel	LAU
	16:19	Hattiesburg	HBG
	17:21	Picayune	PIC
	17:44	Slidell	SDL
	19:10	New Orleans	NOL

20	07:20	New Orleans	NOL
	08:16	Slidell	SDL
	08:38	Picayune	PIC
	09:43	Hattiesburg	HBG
	10:17	Laurel	LAU

The Sunset Limited Adjustment is shown in the tables below: The top table is westbound service train #1 and the bottom table is eastbound service train #2: Modified timetables shown on Trainweb will be adjusted to show the additions of HOS, BMT, LCH, LFT, NIB, SCH, and NOL back to the schedule. Times for these stops in the Fall Amtrak Timetable are replaced by a footnote. Also, sightseer lounge service returns with the resumption of New Orleans Service and the Diner resumes service entirely as a diner. It had been running as a dining/lounge car combination for much of the past two months. The through sleeper line 130/230, however does not return with this change, at least for now, so No Family or Deluxe Bedrooms will be available for sale east of San Antonio. This remains the only portion of Sunset Limited service, which is still disrupted. Standard and Handicapped Accessible bedrooms on a transition sleeping car, however, will be available for sale between Los Angeles and New Orleans. The Sunset Limited is now the only disrupted train, since the City of New Orleans and Crescent have been restored on October 7, 2005. The only leg of the “Southern Crossing” that remains out of service is the Jacksonville-New Orleans segment of the Sunset Limited. That is expected to return within the life cycle of this timetable, but the date of restoration was not known at press time of this timetable. Watch for the restoration of service announcement during a future update of the Trainweb Server.
