Amtrak suspends service between NYC and New Haven due to broken track

Amtrak suspended service between New York City and New Haven for hours on Monday due to a broken track — marking the latest commuter rail snafu to snarl the metro area.

As of mid-morning, service was expected to remain suspended until 2 p.m. on Monday, according to Amtrak, which first reported the disruptions around 9:30 a.m. The rail operator said crews were working to resolve the issue.

Ticketed customers who were due to travel between New York Penn Station and New Haven will be accommodated on Metro-North Railroad between Grand Central Terminal and New Haven, Amtrak said. As of 10:30 a.m., multiple Amtrak trains were canceled between Penn Station and New Haven.

In a statement, the commuter rail operator apologized for the disruptions and said it would continue to communicate with affected customers.

On Sunday, Amtrak also experienced issues on its Northeast Line, delaying commutes for both its own service and NJ Transit in the New York City area into Monday morning .

In June, Amtrak and NJ Transit committed to more frequent inspections of train equipment after major delays due to overhead wire issues.

This is a developing story and will be updated .
