Amtrak service between NYC and Boston suspended Saturday – NBC New York

Amtrak service between New York and Boston has been suspended for the rest of the day, the railroad company said Saturday afternoon.

The service interruption was due to a faulty circuit breaker that caused a power outage on all tracks between Penn Station in New York and Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut.

Amtrak said it would provide an update on the suspension in a message posted at 3:30 p.m. on its website.

Customers with reservations for the affected trains would generally be rebooked onto trains with a comparable departure time or onto another day, the railway company said.

Amtrak is also waiving additional fees for customers who wish to change their reservations.
