Service Back to Normal After Stalled Train Disrupts Penn Station Commutes
(DNAINFO) Aidan Gardiner — Trains in and out of Penn Station resumed regular service Tuesday afternoon after an Amtrak train stalled in a Hudson River Tunnel and disrupted commutes that morning, officials said.
Amtrak Train 130, which was carrying 241 passengers from Washington, D.C., to New York, had a mechanical problem and stalled in the south tube of the Hudson River Tunnel at about 10:30 a.m., an Amtrak spokesman said.
The tunnel had only one operating tube, creating 30-minute delays for both Amtrak and NJ Transit trains that use the tunnel, officials said.
