Brush Fires Disrupt NJ Transit and Amtrak Services in Northeast Corridor

Multiple brush fires caused by sparks from a freight train disrupted NJ Transit and Amtrak rail service along the Northeast Corridor, leading to service suspension between New York Penn Station and Trenton. Commuters were advised to seek alternate transportation, and limited service has since resumed between New York Penn Station and Metropark. Amtrak service is still suspended between New York Penn Station and Philadelphia. The fires caused a commuting hassle for train riders, with large crowds gathering at Penn Station.
