Amtrak says a communication issue was affecting signals and switches on the tracks. Jessica Cunnigton reports.
NJ Transit service has resumed into and out of New York Penn Station -- and so has Amtrak -- hours after the latter said a communication issue was causing signal and switch issues on tracks from the city to Philadelphia.
Amtrak, which had been holding all trains through the latter half of the morning, said the issue had been fixed and service restored by about 11:40 a.m. Friday.
NJ Transit, which shut down service completely on its Northeast Corridor, Raritan Valley and North Jersey Coast lines, announced it had resumed service to and from Penn about 20 minutes later. Lingering delays are expected.
