Train service between Philadelphia and New York City has been fully restored, but passengers may still experience delays, Amtrak said Monday. Service was temporarily suspended as a result of damage to the overhead lines.
Amtrak said trains running from 30th Street Station in West Philadelphia to Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station were affected.
“Crews are addressing this issue,” Amtrak said in an online announcement. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience as we process this unexpected situation.”
Amtrak said customers affected by the closure will likely receive accommodations with similar departure times on a different day.
The company said it is waiving fees for customers who need to change their reservations due to the changed schedule. Customers can call 1-800-USA-RAIL to make any necessary changes.
The NJ Transit rail line to and from Penn Station in New York City was also delayed Monday morning due to overhead wire problems.
