Even if they don't, Amtrak will cancel all trains in the affected area. It would suck to dump a passenger train in a swollen river because a bridge had been undermined.

It is too early to predict Debby's path later this next coming weekend. Have to wonder if it should dump plenty of rain in the NY area if it could be a repeat of "sandy". What preparations are the various agencies doing in that very slim chance of a "Sandy" repeat?

Regardless of path this won't have the winds that Sandy had and since it would be coming from the south-southwest won't bring a storm surge with it. It will likely have fairly significant rains so some flooding would be likely but not the storm surge driven flooding like Sandy had. It'll be entirely different.
