Amtrak Faulted for Major NJ Transit Disruptions After Power Line Issues
TL;DR Summary
A fallen overhead wire in Kearny, NJ, caused a major disruption on Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains, halting service between Manhattan and Newark and affecting thousands of commuters. The incident, which led to delays of over four hours and forced many to use expensive ride-hail services, highlights the consequences of decades of underinvestment in the rail system. Despite recent federal funding, Amtrak is still catching up on necessary improvements.
