NEW YORK — An Amtrak Acela train bound from Boston to New York was stalled on the Northeast Corridor for more than seven hours after losing power on Monday, the Associated Press reports.
Train No. 2151 left Boston at 5:05 a.m. but lost power in the Hunter’s Point neighborhood of Queens at 8:37 a.m., 10 minutes before its scheduled arrival in New York. It finally began moving again at 3:20 p.m. after a rescue engine arrived and brought it to Penn Station about 4 p.m., according to WCBS-TV. Passengers continuing on from New York were transferred there to other trains.
The train was carrying 106 passengers, an Amtrak spokesman said. A rider told the AP that passengers were not kept informed as the delay progressed.
