HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Amtrak’s Southwest Chief is still running its full route in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, although the train is running with limited space available.

Amtrak has suspended service on the California Zephyr from Denver on west, but the Chief and the other train running to the West Coast, the Sunset Limited, continue to run the full schedule.

Amtrak is waiving change fees for reservations made before May 31, 2020. To modify a reservation, customers can log in to their account, go to "Modify Trip" on Amtrak.com, or find their reservation from their account on the home screen in the Amtrak app. A fare difference may apply to a new itinerary.

If customers want to cancel their reservation with no fee, they must call 800-USA-RAIL and speak with an agent.
