Transit Alert: Power Outage Causes Amtrak Delays

Transit Alert: Power Outage Causes Amtrak Delays

Amtrak passengers are being warned to expect delays because of a power outage in a tunnel between New York City and Newark.

The problem is in a tunnel just outside of New York's Penn Station.

Amtrak says it is using diesel engine equipment to take trains from the tunnel into Penn Station.

The agency says it is working to restore power and cannot estimate when it will be back.

Riders with paid tickets on canceled trains are asked to contact Amtrak for refunds or rebookings. Passengers who have not yet printed their tickets can get refunds or rebookings on Amtrak.com or through Amtrak's iPhone app.
