Amtrak service between New York City and Boston was temporarily disrupted due to a lightning strike causing a circuit breaker malfunction. The power outage affected tracks between Penn Station in New York and Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, starting on Saturday afternoon. The rail service announced that service had been restored on its website, with most trains expected to operate on schedule. Some Sunday train services were canceled or running on a modified schedule, but customers with affected reservations were being accommodated on similar departure times or other days without additional charges. The incident highlights the vulnerability of rail infrastructure to weather-related disruptions and the importance of Amtrak's response in quickly restoring service for passengers.
