The suspensions will be in effect through Sept. 2 or 3 depending on the train and route.

Silver Meteor.
A service advisory issued by Amtrak on Thursday said that service will be reinstated pending improved conditions.
The advisory projects that Nos. 91, 97, 52 and 53 will be suspended through Sept. 2 while Nos. 92 and 98 will be suspended through Sept. 3.
Alternative transportation will not be provided for the suspended trains.
