Shots fired by NYPD officers in Queens amid investigation
Crews worked to make repairs after downed power lines caused disruptions that impacted Amtrak and Metro-North trains for several hours Thursday night. All Amtrak train service between New Haven and New York City, and some Metro-North train service, were suspended for several hours after powerlines came down on a train in Fairfield. There are no major disruptions on Friday morning. Trains are now running from New York City to Green Farms, and bus service was being provided locally. Service between Bridgeport and New Haven is also back to normal, officials said. Amtrak canceled several trains going between Boston, Stamford, Philadelphia, Springfield and more as a result of the incident. Metro-North said New Haven line service was suspended between Greens Farms and Bridgeport late Thursday night. A total of 1,200 passengers on three trains were impacted. MTA officials had to cut the electricity from the downed wires and trains, so there was no air conditioning for hours. Passengers were stuck onboard the train during that time. They were eventually escorted onto CTrail trains to take them to another station. “Probably the hottest day of the year today and super sweltering hot. You know, you can’t really drink much water because there’s no bathroom. So it was chaos. People were very upset. And at one point, people are just banging on the windows,” Mike McGill, a passenger on the train, said. Amtrak power has also been restored.
