Amtrak says power problems are still keeping trains from moving in and out of New York

Spokesman Clifford Cole there was a low voltage problem near North Bergen that forced the railroad to halt trains into and out of New York’s Penn Station around 8:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Cole says officials thought the problem was fixed. However, Cole says there are still power problems in the rail tunnel.

There’s no word what caused the problem or whether it’s weather-related.

Amtrak can’t operate its Northeast Regional and Acela trains between New Jersey and New York.

NJ Transit spokesman Dan Stessel says Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and Midtown Direct trains into and out of New York are still stuck.

PATH trains and Port Authority buses are honoring NJ Transit rail passes.
