Amtrak Northeast Corridor service is temporarily suspended between Penn Station in New York and New Haven, Ct, due to overhead wire and signal issues along Metro North's New Haven line in Port Chester, New York.

All Amtrak trains traveling at the time of the outage, have been returned to their nearest stations.

Earlier severe weather in the area resulted in several downed trees along the affected route and Metro-North crews are now working to clear the debris from the line, with no immediate estimate for resumption of operations.

Service between New York and Washington, DC is not affected.

Passengers who have paid but choose not to travel due to this service disruption can receive a refund or a voucher for future travel. Some tickets booked online that have not yet been printed can be modified or canceled on http://Amtrak.com/ or by using the free Amtrak mobile app.
