Photo of Amtrak Tran 167 Arriving Kingston Station
Amtrak Tran 167 Arriving Kingston Station

AMTK 631 (ACS-64) leads train 167 to its stop at Kingston Station, RI.. As far as I could tell from the opposite side, there was no one waiting to get on and 1 person got off. Since this was still before March 28 Amtrak was operating select trains on a Saturday schedule on this Friday.

I'm guessing the National Guard was there to intercept Amtrak patrons from New York City and tell them to self quarantine?

You have the right idea, John. It is not as specific as that; signs on the depot state that anyone arriving from out of state and not on a business trip must self-quarantine. The guard is there to talk to them and make sure the message is delivered. As I understand it, they also ask out-of-state arrivals where they are staying. I have seen 3 trains arrive since they started work last Friday. 2 of the trains discharged 1 passenger each; the 3rd no one. It does not seem they are being overwhelmed with work at Kingston Station.
