1. Confirming Track work is Completed

We are on the Crescent starting tonight and arriving New Orleans tomorrow 3/1/24. Will it be train all the way?
Today's Crescent that originated 2/28/24 in NY was cancelled at Atlanta and apparently replaced by bus service.

thanks,

Today's also starts in Atlanta.

The southbound trains look as if they'll go all the way through, unless those are bus stop times shown south of atlanta.

Thanks. Another data point (had a chat and phone call with Amtrak) confirming that the Crescent will go all the way. On $1B of infrastructure upgrades no less.
