Hudson Tunnel cleared, but residual rail delays

NEW YORK

/*Amtrak*/ said a machine that does track maintenance derailed in the northbound /*Hudson River*/ tunnel around 4.25 a.m. That left only one tunnel for Amtrak and /*NJ Transit*/ trains to use between /*Manhattan*/ and /*Trenton*/.

Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole says the equipment was removed and the tunnel reopened by 8:45 a.m.

Amtrak trains were running up to 30 minutes behind schedule until the tunnel was cleared.

NJ Transit's /*Northeast Corridor*/ and /*North Jersey Coast Line*/ trains were delayed up to 60 minutes in and out of New York's Penn Station.

/*Midtown Direct*/ trains operated to and from /*Hoboken*/ until the derailed equipment was moved.
