UPDATE: Train Service FINALLY Resumes Between Philadelphia & New York Friday Afternoon; Delays Remain

It was a frustrating morning for rail passengers across Amtrak, New Jersey Transit & SEPTA. However, that should be improving (as of noon) Friday afternoon.

Earlier this morning, around 9:30 Amtrak reported a communication issue that stopped all trains between New York's Penn Station and 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, PA.

Those issues caused all New Jersey Transit services on the Northeast Corridor, Raritan Valley Line, and North Jersey Coast Line to be suspended. Plus, SEPTA service on the Trenton Line is suspended as well at the time.

Amtrak provided an update around noon on Friday saying that crews were able to resolve the issues and service was resuming as normal.

However, delays remain (and all trains may be busier than usual in the area) following the cancelations of many mid-morning trains.

In fact, NJ Transit says that all services on the Northeast Corridor, Raritan Valley Line, and North Jersey Coast Line are subject to 30-minute delays. SEPTA resumed normal afternoon service on the Trenton Line as of 12:25 p.m.
