Amtrak service from New York City to Boston cancelled for today

NEW YORK (AP) — 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 on its website. The news was posted at 15:30.

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.
