PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Amtrak said it is modifying its Northeast Corridor service for the snowfall expected with the approaching nor'easter.

Northeast Regional and Acela Express services will operate a modified schedule on the Northeast Corridor between Washington, D.C., and Boston on Wednesday, March 7.
