We begin tonight with breaking news, overhead wire issues
cause disruptions on Amtrak and New Jersey transit news.
12, New Jersey's Naomi Jane has the very latest
from Newark, Naomi. This is the worst possible
time of day for there to be service interruptions.
Let me show you what we're looking at right now
. Take a look out here. We're in front
of Newark Penn Station, just crowds of people outside
the station trying to get home. Some commuters telling
us they've been stuck here for two hours before they
all finally spilled out into the streets surrounding the station
. Now there's also gridlock on the roads out here
as cars and buses are bobbing and weaving through the
streets trying to pick up some people's family members coming
to pick them up from the station. Commuters tell
us it's a similar scene across the Hudson right now
. No service is suspended in and out of Penn
Station in both New Jersey and New York. All
this going down right in the middle of evening rush
leaving commuters to have to find alternate routes home.
Now, according to Amtrak's website, the issue is
downed overhead wires blocking the tracks and crews are trying
to clear the tracks. Very frustrating things is like
no one is giving you any information like whomever you
go to, no one knows what is going on
. They say there is a power line down on
the truck. But when the surface going to be
restored, no one knows. According to Amtrak,
there's no service between New York and Philly also also
suspended our Jersey transit trains. So we're seeing those
suspensions out there on Northeast Corridor between Penn Station and
Metro Park, North Jersey coastline. Also seeing suspensions
between Penn Station and branch for a full list of
service suspensions and interruptions. Check out News twelve.com.
We'll continue to get the information from here and bring
it to you as we get it right now in
Newark, Naomi Yan News 12, New Jersey Roxanne
. I'll send it back inside to you. My
goodness. All right. Thank you so much, 00:02:06.439 --> Naomi.
