Amtrak service will be restored Wednesday between Newark, N.J., and points south, but not north of New York City, the railroad announced just before 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said the MBTA trains were running from Boston to Rhode Island and Shoreline commuter trains were running in Connecticut, but the tracks south of New Haven were closed, preventing Northeast Regional service.
Amtrak issued this explanation:
"As in the case of other tunnel owners and operators in New York City, Amtrak is removing water and making repairs to track, signal and power systems within its tunnels under the Hudson and East rivers. The amount of water intrusion into the tunnels is unprecedented -- as was the storm itself -- so a date for restoration of Amtrak service directly to/from New York Penn Station from either the north or south is not available at this time."
