Amtrak service between New York and Boston was suspended for much of Saturday due to a power outage caused by a malfunctioning circuit breaker. Service was fully restored by 9 p.m. ET Saturday, with most trains operating on schedule on Sunday.
The power outage was blamed on a malfunctioning circuit breaker, which caused a power outage on all tracks between Penn Station in New York and Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut4. Amtrak believes a lightning strike was responsible for the outage.
