Lightning strike blamed for disruption

Amtrak logo.NEW YORK — Amtrak service on the Northeast Corridor between Boston and New York City was restored as of about 9 p.m. Saturday night, the passenger operator announced late Saturday evening.

The company says the preliminary cause is a lightning strike that disrupted power.

Normal operations are planned for today except for three early trains — New Haven-Washington No. 143; Philadelphia-Boston No. 150; and Washington-Boston No. 162 — that were cancelled because of equipment being out of position. Train No. 54, the northbound Vermonter, and No. 157 were to operate on modified schedules.
