Does Amtrak have regional/commuter services? Or is it just long distance?

Many of our routes can be used to commute particularly those in the Northeast, but no none of our routes are designed for communting specifically, we do intercity rail if you want commuter rail in the US the best options mostly again in the notheast being organisations like MBTA, SEPTA, The DC metro, NJ Transit and Metro North.

We might get commuter rail!

Hey, now you wont get stuck in three feet of snow, because now you can take a train! Fast, too. Also, unlike some other railroads (@amtrak-official @norfolk-bastard), we carry both people and cargo, so we can deal with your cargo too. Anyways, cya all! P.S. Amtrak you need to rename the Northern Lights Express. We both know who really deserves the name.

Well! Some great news on Metra electrification - they’ve issued a procurement order to Stadler for all-new battery-electric trains - most likely the FLIRT Akku, which is easily convertible for dual battery / overhead catenary operation.

There are people who live in places that are not cities. And they deserve alternatives to personal motorcars as well

Here are the planned Long Island Railroad service patterns for when East Side Access opens!

Dashed lines show peak-hour service variations. Not all stopping patterns are shown—some trains may not run the entire route, and some may skip stops or make additional intermediate stops along their route.

The emphasis of these timetables seems to be giving the majority of stops direct service to both Penn Station and Grand Central, with most major branches interlined with an hourly train to each Manhattan terminal.

In off-peak hours, Grand Central has hourly trains to Port Washington, Huntington, Ronkonkoma, Hempstead, Babylon (local), Far Rockaway (weekdays only), and Long Beach (weekends only).

In off-peak hours, Penn Station has hourly trains to Port Washington, Huntington, Ronkonkoma, Babylon (local and express), Long Beach (weekdays only), and Far Rockaway (weekends only).

In off-peak hours, Atlantic Terminal has hourly trains to West Hempstead and two additional hourly trains to Jamaica. In peak hours, it also has trains to Hempstead and Freeport.

Long Island City is only served in peak hours, as the endpoint for express diesel trains from Oyster Bay, Port Jefferson, and Montauk.

A couple more examples of how service patterns are designed for direct access to both stations: Babylon trains bound for Grand Central will stop at Lynbrook to complement the Long Beach service to Penn, and Huntington trains bound for Penn will stop at Floral Park to complement the Hempstead service to Grand Central.

If you want to view the timetables for yourself, here's the link: https://new.mta.info/agency/long-island-rail-road/lirr-to-grand-central/schedules

One final note: I'm very proud of this "trident" shape for showing Grand Central, Long Island City, and Penn Station. It feels both elegant and memorable, and I think it's the best way to show the three endpoints without condensing the routes.
