Reports of a brush fire east of New York Penn Station (NYP) has caused power loss for trains in the area, impacting rail travel between New York Penn Station (NYP) and New Haven (NHV), with potential residual effects reaching Boston South Station (BOS). Trains approaching New York Penn Station are being moved out of the area at reduced speeds using diesel-powered engines. A lengthy delay is expected for all trains scheduled to operate in the impacted area. Currently, there is no estimate for when normal operations will resume. Fire department personnel are on the scene to address the issue, and updates will be provided as they become available.

Customers with reservations on affected trains will typically be accommodated on trains with similar departure times or another day. Amtrak will waive additional charges for customers looking to change their reservation during the modified schedule by calling our reservation center at 1-800-USA-RAIL.
