Modified service for New Jersey Transit and Amtrak is expected to run into Penn Station New York until noon on Friday1.
Amtrak's modified service includes up to 60-minute delays and a temporary suspension of Empire service between New York and Yonkers. Crews are working to remove a disabled commuter train and repair any related infrastructure.
The earlier AMTRAK overhead wire issue caused suspension of rail service into and out of Penn Station New York, leading to significant delays and disruptions for NJ Transit and Amtrak passengers4. The incident was caused by a malfunctioning circuit breaker and resulted in a loss of power on the tracks between New York Penn Station and Newark Union Station2.
