Amtrak service between New York and Boston resumes after suspension
All Amtrak services between New York Penn Station and Boston South Station resumed Saturday night after they were suspended earlier in the day because of power issues.
All Amtrak services between New York Penn Station and Boston South Station resumed Saturday night after they were suspended earlier in the day because of power issues.
Service between the two Northeastern cities was disrupted for hours Saturday after a “malfunctioning circuit breaker” caused a widespread power outage on all of its tracks stretching between Penn Station and New Haven Union Station in Connecticut, Amtrak said.
As of 9 p.m. ET, service between New York and Boston was fully restored, Amtrak said in a statement, adding that the power outage was caused by a lightning strike.
Amtrak said most Sunday trains will operate as planned, but because of the locations of some trains when the power went out, a number of trains are canceled.
The company is working directly with customers who were affected by the outage to get them rebooked, according to the statement.
