Most Amtrak service to and from New Orleans has been restored following Hurricane Isaac, but the City of New Orleans' service in Mississippi and Louisiana, remains suspended through Friday.

The City of New Orleans, a daily service between Chicago and New Orleans, will continue to terminate and originate in Memphis, Tenn., rather than in New Orleans, at least through Friday.

Meanwhile, the Sunset Limited, which runs three days a week, is restored with departure of the west bound train from New Orleans beginning Wednesday. The eastbound train from Los Angeles resumed departures on Saturday.

The Crescent service, between New Orleans and New York, was restored last weekend.
