Nueva York.- The suspension of Amtrak services between New Haven and Philadelphia and New Jersey Transit commuter lines has caused significant disruptions during rush hour. According to Amtrak, the problem stems from a malfunctioning circuit breaker, leading to a widespread power outage on the tracks between New York Penn Station and Newark Union Station. As a result, trains operating in the affected area, including the segment between Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station and New Haven Union Station, are halted indefinitely.
This marks the second time this week that travelers face severe delays due to power infrastructure issues. Amtrak crews are currently working to restore power, but no timeline has been provided for the resumption of services.
Impact:
- Commuters: People reliant on NJ Transit and Amtrak are left scrambling for alternative routes.
- Regional Connectivity: Critical links between major cities along the Northeast Corridor are down, affecting business and travel plans.
Travelers are advised to check for updates on the Amtrak and NJ Transit websites or seek alternate transportation options in the interim.
