Heavy NJ Transit Delays Persist After Earlier Signal Problems

Signal problem delays rail riders

It's not clear whether hundreds of rail riders will face delays throughout the afternoon along Amtrak's busy Northeast Corridor.

Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole says a tree fell on overhead wires near Hamilton, N.J., around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday

Trains are moving at greatly reduced speeds between New York City and Philadelphia while repairs continue.

Cole says Amtrak passengers should expect delays of 90 minutes to 2 hours on southbound trains and from 60 to 90 minutes on northbound trains.

NJ Transit resumed service between Trenton and the Jersey Avenue station in New Brunswick at 10:50 a.m. with delays of 30 to 45 minutes in and out of New York.
