Amtrak runs Shuttles between Springfield, Massachusetts and New Haven, Connecticut along Amtrak's New Haven-Springfield Line. These shuttles connect with Northeast Regional service at the New Haven station, usually a cross-platform or same platform transfer.
The Shuttles are numbered in the 400 series, usually (but not always) denoting by the last two digits which Regional train the train is connecting with.
