Amtrak service between Philly and New York resumes with delays; SEPTA and NJ Transit were also disrupted
A communications issue impacted signals and switches between the two stations.
Amtrak service has resumed between Philadelphia and New York after the transit agency experienced delays Friday morning.
Trains were held at both stations after a communications issue impacted signals and switches between stations, the agency said.
Residual delays should be expected now that service has resumed, according to an Amtrak spokesperson.
Still, several Amtrak trains were terminated or canceled following the disruption, including Acela Train 2151, Acela Train 2104, and Train 600, the agency said on X, formerly Twitter.
The delays impacted other transit agencies with Amtrak connections.
SEPTA had reported that its service in Trenton was suspended this morning, and that its Chestnut Hill East and Chestnut Hill West lines were delayed.
A spokesperson for the agency said Trenton service has since resumed with “possible minor delays.”
NJ Transit said it suspended service on its Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, and Raritan Valley lines.
