Amtrak service from New York City to Boston suspended for the day

NEW YORK — Amtrak service between New York and Boston has been suspended for the rest of the day, the railroad announced Saturday afternoon.

The service disruption was caused by a faulty circuit breaker, which caused a power outage on all tracks between Penn Station in New York and Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut.

Amtrak said it would post an update on the suspension on its website in a message that posted at 3:30 pm.

Customers with a reservation for the trains in question will generally be given a seat on a train with similar departure times or on a different day, the railway company said.

Amtrak also does not charge additional fees for customers who wish to change their reservation.
