Amtrak suspends services between New York and Boston for the rest of Saturday

Amtrak has suspended all services between New York Penn Station and Boston South Station due to a power outage issue caused by a malfunctioning circuit breaker. The company is working to accommodate affected passengers on trains with similar departure times or on another day, with waived charges for ticket changes. The outage led to delays and cancellations throughout the day, with initial estimates to resume service at 12 p.m. ET changing as the day progressed. By early afternoon, all trains originating from Boston were suspended, with hopes of resuming service by 3 p.m. ET. This disruption comes during a record-breaking Fourth of July holiday weekend, with an estimated 71 million travelers on the move, including over 4.6 million expected to use trains, buses, and cruises. Amtrak advises customers to check their website for updates on service restoration.
