Amtrak Northeast Corridor service fully restored
Amtrak has fully restored service on its Northeast Corridor after an electrical problem this morning interrupted service between Philadelphia and Baltimore.
In a 10:30 a.m. announcement, the railroad said repairs to the overhead wire system near Wilmington had been completed, allowing full service to resume. Amtrak said the service interruption ocurred at 7 a.m. when a power problem involving the damaged overhead wires forced a temporary suspension of service between Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Terry Owens, an MTA spokesman, said there were there were no problems with MARC Penn Line trains, but he said there were delays on two Amtrak morning trains that stop along the Penn Line and honor MARC tickets.
Amtrak said riders can expect residual congestion-related delays of 15-20 minutes through the affected area.
