BOSTON – South Station was packed with people throughout the day Monday, as many Amtrak customers watched in frustration while their trains were canceled or indefinitely delayed. One train from Roanoke, for example, was delayed in its arrival by 265 minutes without explanation.

Amtrak passengers faced delays of 30 to 60 minutes Sunday night because of power line issues along the Northeast Corridor, which provides service between Washington, D.C., and Boston, officials said.

Amtrak says service has been fully restored between New York’s Penn Station and Philadelphia. The company said “all services are operating” in a post shortly before 8 a.m. ET today (Dec. 24, 2024) on its Northeast Corridor alerts feed on X.
