US: Downed overhead power lines disrupt Amtrak train service between New York, N.Y., and Newark, N.J., May 22

Downed overhead power lines have disrupted Amtrak train service between New York Penn Station in New York, New York, and Newark Penn Station in Newark, New Jersey, May 22. All Amtrak trains operating between the stations have been halted. Amtrak has advised that crews are working to clear the affected tracks but did not immediately provide an estimated time at which train services would resume in the area.

Rail service disruptions, including delays, will likely affect trains operating between the stations over the coming hours and may lead to additional train disruptions in other parts of the Northeast Corridor. Electricity disruptions are also possible in the affected area over the short term.
