US: Amtrak train services suspended between New York Penn Station and Boston South Station through at least late July 6

Amtrak has suspended its train services between New York Penn Station (NYP) and Boston South Station (BOS) through at least late July 6. The reason for the suspension is a malfunctioning circuit breaker that has reportedly caused a power outage affecting all tracks between NYP and New Haven Union Station (NHV). Officials will likely provide updates on the situation over the coming hours.

The rail service disruptions may lead to Amtrak delays in other parts of the Northeast Corridor, especially those serviced by Amtrak's Northeast Regional line. The Amtrak disruptions may also increase demand for alternative modes of public transport over the short term. Residual disruptions may affect Amtrak trains even after services resume as the carrier repositions rolling stock and works through any passenger backlog that materializes.
