New Jersey Transit resumed service of its trains to Penn Station after also having to suspend afternoon service due to the Amtrak issue.
1 of 2: Rail service to and from Penn Station New York has resumed and is subject to delays of up to 1 hour and 30 minutes due to problems with AMTRAK overhead wires at Penn Station New York. Midtown Direct trains are being diverted to Hoboken.
— NJ TRANSIT (@NJTRANSIT) June 20, 2024
An unrelated brush fire was affecting wire repairs, according to Amtrak and NJ Transit.
The outage was reported shortly after Amtrak warned that extreme heat in the Northeast could force trains to slow down, causing delays of up to an hour. It was not immediately clear if the service suspension was caused by the heat.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
