JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Amtrak train service in Florida was disrupted Monday because of a wildfire in the northeast part of the state, officials said.
The auto train service (Trains 52 and 53) between Sanford, near Orlando, and Lorton, Va., outside Washington, was canceled for Monday, Amtrak said in a statement. The train service allows passengers to take their cars on trips.
The Silver Meteor route (Trains 97 and 98), which runs between Miami and New York, was starting and ending in Jacksonville instead of South Florida on Monday, and one of its two daily train trips (Train 97) was canceled for Tuesday.
The Floridian route (Trains 40 and 41), running from Miami to Chicago via Washington, was starting and ending in Savannah, Ga., and one of its two train trips (Train 41) was canceled for Tuesday, Amtrak said.
Amtrak on Monday was providing some bus service between Jacksonville and Miami for passengers on the Silver Meteor and Floridian routes.
The Florida Forest Service reported a 2,700-acre fire along the eastern border of Putnam and Clay counties, south of Jacksonville. An Amtrak spokesperson said the company is working closely with host railroad partner, CSX, to monitor the wildfire.
Dry conditions and gusty winds has resulted in a red flag warning in 32 of Florida’s 67 counties.
