Full service has resumed on commuter rail lines into New York's Penn Station after a two-month repair project.

New Jersey Transit, Long Island Rail Road and Amtrak trains resumed their normal schedules on Tuesday.

Amtrak wrapped up an extensive summertime track repair project at New York's Penn Station on Thursday that officials had warned could create an infernal bottleneck in the nation's busiest rail hub.

Predictions back in the spring couldn't have been more dire, but many rail riders say their commutes went surprisingly fine.

Trains on NJ Transit's Morris & Essex lines that had been diverted to Hoboken are back on their regular schedule.

Discounts that had been in effect are also over.
