Train Service Is Restored at Penn Station - City Room Blog ...

Updated, 12:19 p.m. | More than three hours after electricity problems close down almost all traffic in as well as out of Pennsylvania Station, disrupting thousands of sunrise commutes, a complaint has been addressed as well as train use is running.

We have resumed unchanging use with residual delays, pronounced Penny Bassett Hackett, a spokeswoman for New Jersey Transit.

Train use at a bustling commuter hub was halted around 8:30 Wednesday sunrise after electrical problems left trains without energy to make their way in or out of a station, according to Amtrak, that runs a station.

Trains entering a city from New Jersey were stopped en track as well as corroborated up to nearby stations so that passengers could switch to PATH trains, Ms. Hackett said. Several trains became stuck in tunnels as well as had to be pulled out by special engines. Passengers, who had already wrestled with delays over a final integrate of days stemming from a week end snowstorm, were told that low voltage was to blame.

Youre talking about a rise of a peak, Ms. Hackett said. So we have been talking about thousands of people who have been affected.

PATH trains into a city, that were not affected, have been honoring all tickets from Amtrak as well as New Jersey Transit, a orator for a Port Authority of New York as well as New Jersey said. Long Island Rail Road trains were not affected, a orator said.

The cause of a complaint has not been done public. Amtrak officials could not be reached for comment.
