Berkshire Flyer Passenger Service Suspended
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — WNYT Channel 13 in Albany, N.Y., is reporting that passenger train service to the city was suspended including the Berkshire Flyer.
An Amtrak advisory in late June first stated Train 1237, the Berkshire Flyer, would terminate at Albany and a bus would complete the transit to Pittsfield.
WNYT reported this week that service would be suspended until January because a hole developing under the tracks in Greenbush, N.Y., was creating a massive safety hazard.
According to Railway Supply, shifting soil was first noticed in May and worsened. Contractors are already making preparations for reconstruction of the area.
