The local effect is a full stop in service

Danville’s official notice says Amtrak passenger service at the city station will be suspended from October 17 through October 25, with normal service scheduled to resume October 26. During that period the Crescent is expected to operate in separate northern and southern segments and not serve Danville.

The construction is elsewhere

The interruption is tied to Amtrak’s work on switches and track components in the First Street Tunnel near Washington Union Station. That distinction matters: the Danville station is affected by a wider route change, not by a local-station construction claim.

The city says the concentrated work is intended to improve reliability.

Recheck the trip, not just the article

Travelers should review the reservation and current Amtrak service information before departure, including any replacement, refund or rebooking terms that apply to the exact ticket. A scheduled October 26 return is not a guarantee against later operating changes.
