Amtrak said initial reports indicated a brush fire stemming from a transformer at an Amtrak substation in the Bronx caused power losses for trains in the area, affecting travel.

Service was suspended for the day between New York Penn Station and New Haven, Connecticut. There also were delays between New York and Washington and between Boston and New Haven.
