In the Northeast, Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends are peak demand times for Amtrak, who responds by lengthening consists and adding additional trains. Typically, Amtrak turns to NJTransit and MARC to provide a few extra sets of equipment for this additional service. This year, realizing that operating rail equipment is in short supply due to the recent hurricane, VIA Rail Canada provided Amtrak two train sets–10 coaches and two Park Cars (observation lounge dome cars), which were put into service on the Adirondack.
