It was the night before a major snowstorm, and people were trying to get out of New York City and home to New Jersey. But the waiting area was absolutely crammed and jam packed with people.
NJ TRANSIT reported it was an Amtrak overhead switch issue in Secaucus, and was expected to be resolved. Cold weather was blamed for the switch issue.
