NJ Transit Hit With Significant Delays Tuesday

NJ Transit reported a two-hour delay on all Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and Raritan Valley Line trains, and are cross-honoring NJ Transit buses and private carrier buses in and out of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, according to statement issued by the transit agency Tuesday. 

The delays are due to Amtrak signal and switch problems near Newark Penn Station, and there is no estimate for when repairs are expected to be completed, the statement said.

According to NJ Transit, some trains may be cancelled or combined.

Amtrak experienced a problem with signal feeds and switches near Newark Penn Station shortly before 3 p.m, according to NJ Transit. The signal feeds and switches control the movement of trains. For safety, trains have to stop and receive verbal permission to proceed.
