PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Amtrak is resuming passenger rail
service between Boston and New York, but Rhode Island is being left
out of the loop.
Amtrak suspended service between the cities for two days this
week because of flooding in Rhode Island, and is continuing to
monitor conditions there.
But access to Rhode Island's T.F. Green Airport from Interstate
95 is being restored. Amy Kempe, a spokeswoman for Gov. Don
Carcieri, says the connector road that had been
flooded is expected to open around noon Friday.
An Amtrak spokeswoman tells The Providence Journal that three
round trips will run between New York and Boston on Friday by
rerouting through Springfield, Mass.
High-speed Acela Express service will be available between New
Haven, Conn. and New York.
