Amtrak has suspended service between New York and Boston due to the powerful nor’easter sweeping the region.

Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency on Sunday due to the pending blizzard, and on Monday NWS Boston reported wind gusts of 60 to 70 miles per hour and an expected 18-24 inches of snow in the region.

“Out of an abundance of caution, and in consultation with our contract meteorologists, host railroads, and local officials, all service between New York Moynihan Train Hall and Boston South Station are suspended,” Amtrak officials posted on the company’s website.

Service will remain suspended until at least 4 p.m. on Monday, according to officials.

Amtrak is also making other service adjustments due to “dangerous weather conditions,” officials noted, and impacted customers will be notified.

Travelers can rebook or request refunds without penalties on amtrak.com, through the Amtrak mobile app, or by calling the Care Center at 1 800 USA RAIL, according to officials.

“The safety of our customers and team members remains our highest priority,” wrote Amtrak officials. “These proactive measures help limit exposure to hazardous conditions, protect our equipment, and support guidance from state and local authorities advising limited travel during and after the storm.”

Nearly 1,000 flights at Logan Airport were cancelled on Monday morning because of the storm.
