Amtrak, SEPTA trains delayed by power problems

June 23, 2011|By Peter Mucha, Inquirer Staff Writer

As of shortly after 8 a.m. SEPTA was still reporting that "ALL Service to Trenton and Chestnut Hill West has been temporarily suspended due to power problems."

But Amtrak and N.J. Transit were reporting that power was restored for trains into New York City, though delays could be expected.

"Service restored between (PHL) Philadelphia & (NYP) New York City with residual delays possible. Thank you for your patience," Amtrak posted on Twitter.

N.J. Transit's alert mentions possible one-hour delays, but mostly affecting North Jersey commuters.

Story continues below.

No delays were reported for the Atlantic City or River Lines in South Jersey.
