Train service suspended at Penn Station NYC – NBC New York

For the second day in a row, train service to and from New York’s Penn Station has been affected by downed power lines.

NJ Transit said rail service in and out of the Midtown interchange was suspended due to power issues as of 6:15 p.m. Amtrak reported that train service between Philadelphia and New York has been “temporarily suspended.”

“There is a disruption to service between Philadelphia and New York City due to downed lines,” an Amtrak spokesman said, adding that lines were also down near Kearny.

Amtrak said after 7 p.m. that “significant delays are expected as employees work to resolve the issue.”

North Jersey Coast Line and Raritan Valley reported that at least one train on each line was delayed.

NJ Transit said PATH rail tickets and passes would be accepted reciprocally at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken and 33rd Street in Manhattan.

It was less than 36 hours ago when travelers faced similar delays on Tuesday morning due to another cable outage.
