An Amtrak train that was heading from Boston to Washington, DC is stuck in New Haven after a tree fell on wires and service is delayed in both directions between Boston and New York.
Officials from Amtrak said the initial report at 11 a.m. was that a tree fell into catenary wires, which provide power from overhead.
The train affected is the 2159 Acela Express, which is carrying 184 passengers. Amtrak will be taking people off the train and to Union Station, where they will continue their journey.
Amtrak officials said the train will remain stopped for awhile and passengers should expect delays on Amtrak lines.
Crews are working on restoring power.
