NJ Transit rail service disrupted at New York Penn Station due to disabled train
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The last weekend of 2023 got off to a rough start for some evening commuters at New York's Penn Station on Friday.
NJ Transit reported that Northeast Corridor Rail Line service into and out of Penn Station were subject to delays of up to 60 minutes due to an "earlier disabled train" in one of the Hudson River Tunnels.
The train has been cleared, but for several hours there was just one track working.
Some trains out of the station were canceled, and customers were urged to take a different train.
"I ran and took the subway after a long day of work, was expecting to get home for the holiday weekend and end the year on a good note, and my train got canceled," one commuter said.
Eastbound Midtown Direct rail service has resumed into Penn Station.
Rail tickets and passes were being cross-honored by NJ Transit bus and private carriers, PATH at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken, and 33rd St. New York.
