Effective Sunday, March 15, Amtrak's Adirondack line will only now go to Albany. The Amtrak Maple Leaf line will only run to Niagara Falls.

Amtrak typically stops in Hudson, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Saratoga, and Glens Falls. The train will not stop at any of these locations due to severely reduced demand with the coronavirus outbreak.
