UPDATE: Midtown Direct Service Being Restored

The cause is an Amtrak power problem.

Update: Train service in and out of New York Penn Station is being restored as of 12:07 p.m. Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and Midtown Direct service is resuming a regular weekday schedule subject to residual delays. Midtown Direct trains have resumed operation into and out of New York.

Due to an Amtrak power problem near New York Penn Station, train service was temporarily suspended between Newark and New York on the Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast and Midtown Direct lines on Wednesday morning. Customers are advised of the following:

  • Midtown Direct trains are being diverted to Hoboken.
  • Main/Bergen/Port Jervis/Pascack Valley customers who normally transfer to New York-bound trains at Secaucus should remain on the train to Hoboken and connect to PATH.
  • Westbound (outbound) Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and Midtown Direct service from Newark is subject to significant delay.

PATH is cross-honoring NJ Transit rail tickets and passes at Newark Penn, Hoboken and 33rd Street. In addition, NJ Transit buses are cross-honoring in and out of the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Commuters can visit www.njtransit.com for the latest service information or call 973-275-5555.
