Transportation in the New Jersey & New York areas these past two days has been horrendous. Yesterday the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) had a fire that caused a massive amount of delays. The railroad still is not working at 100% today. LIRR had to suspend 25% of this mornings trains due to the fire in the switching station on Monday.



NJ Transit and Amtrak are experiencing problems today as well. New Jersey Transit was forced to suspend all of their trains for an hour on the most popular route this morning, due to electrical problems. These trains included Amtrak, and other trains along the Northeast Corridor line. They were stopped between 7:45 AM and 8:45 AM. Delays are expected throughout the day, of 60-90 Minutes. At 9 a.m., Amtrak service from Washington to New York was resumed, but the recovery is still not 100% complete. Railroad authorities hope that delays ease up as the day goes on.
