Stefanik, GOP Lawmakers Protest Amtrak Service Reduction Plans

In Saratoga, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik co-wrote a letter with New York Republican Representatives to Amtrak President Roger Harris expressing deep concern over Amtrak’s planned reduction of service and lengthy delays beginning on Nov. 11 due to the East River Tunnel rehabilitation project. The lawmakers urged Amtrak to commit to a 60-day delay in implementation of these changes in service during the busy holiday season to avoid disrupting the lives of thousands of New Yorkers and tourists to the region.
