PITTSBURGH (AP) - Amtrak is suspending service into and out of its station in downtown Pittsburgh during the Group of 20 economic summit.
Spokeswoman Tracy Connell says passengers will not be able to book trips that begin or end in Pittsburgh from Sept. 24-26. The G-20 gathering of major world economic leaders is scheduled for Sept. 24-25 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center a few blocks away from the train station.
Amtrak trains will still pass through Pittsburgh during that time. And passengers on those trains will be allowed to transfer to connecting trains, as long as they don’t leave the station’s platform.
It’s unclear whether Port Authority of Allegheny County buses and trains will travel downtown during the summit. Spokesman Jim Ritchie says that is still being discussed.
