US: Overhead power outage disrupts Amtrak train service between Philadelphia, PA, and New Haven, CT, as of June 20
Downed overhead power lines disrupt Amtrak train service between Philadelphia, PA, and New Haven, CT, US, June 20; lingering delays likely.
Amtrak train services are facing disruptions between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New Haven, Connecticut, due to outages in overhead power lines between New York City and Newark, New Jersey, on June 20. NJ Transit has indicated that travelers between Newark and New York could face delays of up to 60 minutes while crews attend to the issue. Amtrak, on the other hand, has suspended railway travel between Philadelphia and New Haven while repairs are underway. Amtrak did not immediately provide an estimated time for train services to resume in the area.
Rail service disruptions will likely affect trains passing through New York over the coming hours and may lead to delays in other parts of the Northeast Corridor. Lingering disruptions to Amtrak services are possible after services resume as the carrier repositions rolling stock and works through its backlog of passengers.
Reconfirm train reservations and schedules if planning to travel on Amtrak services in the Northeast corridor through late June 20. Consider taking alternative modes of transport for time-sensitive travel. Monitor official transport advisories.
