It’s been a very tough morning on the rails across our area and it’s lingering into the mid-morning.
Rail Service Is Suspended Around New York City
Rail service on NJ Transit & Amtrak is essentially stopped this morning between New York City and Philadelphia. Overhead wire issues in the Newark, NJ area to blame.
As of 10:00 a.m. on Monday, New Jersey Transit has suspended rail service on the Northeast Corridor Line between Penn Station in New York and Trenton, NJ. Meanwhile, the Raritan Valley Line trains will origin and terminate at Newark Penn Station, according to New Jersey Transit.

Amtrak Having Issues With Train Service
Meanwhile, the issues are causing canceled trains and more for Amtrak. We’ve seen cancelations on the Northeast Regional Rail Lines and Keystone line trains in and out of Penn Station this morning. Customers are reminded to check Amtrak’s website to rebook on the next available train.
The cancelations are the latest development in a tough morning on the rails. Earlier today, trains in and out New York’s Penn Station were subject to an hour delay. Of course, that seems to have escalated by now.
