A day after Amtrak suspended part of its Northeast Corridor service due to downed overhead wires, the railroad is still experiencing delays.
Amtrak said it was addressing "signal power issues" on Monday for the tracks in and out of New York Penn Station. As a result, trains are dealing with single tracking and are delayed coming and going from New York.
In addition trains between D.C. and Boston are being impacted by crew issues left over from yesterday's cancellations.
"This is an ongoing situation; crews are actively working on resolving this issue. Please note that plans are fluid and may change, and we will notify customers affected as soon as possible," Amtrak said in a service advisory.
