NJ Transit rail passengers heading into or out of Penn Station New York are facing delays of up to an hour Monday morning. Following an earlier suspension, Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line rail service have resumed with limited service.
The railroad said the delays are due to Amtrak overhead wire issues near Newark Penn Station.
Eastbound Midtown Direct service into New York is being diverted to Hoboken. Raritan Valley Line Service is originating and ending at Newark Penn.
NJ Transit rail tickets are being cross-honored by PATH at the Newark, Hoboken and 33rd Street-NY stations. NJ Transit and private carrier buses are also honoring rail tickets.
