Amtrak resumes service between Philadelphia, Trenton after delays related to "trespasser" incident
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Amtrak trains traveling between Philadelphia and Trenton experienced delays after a "trespasser" came in contact with a train east of Philly Monday morning.
In a statement posted on their website around 10:40 a.m., Amtrak said local authorities placed a hold on all tracks east of the city. By 11:30 a.m., Amtrak said all service between Philadelphia and Trenton had resumed but was operating at restricted speeds. Riders traveling on Amtrak should expect lingering delays in the area.
Earlier in the morning, Amtrak Northeast first posted on X that all service was temporarily stopped and "lengthy" delays were expected. Just after 11 a.m., the account said Train 196 and Train 131 were both canceled.
This is a developing story. CBS News Philadelphia will provide more details as new information becomes available.
