New Jersey Transit rail service resumed on major lines for Monday’s evening commute after earlier disruptions caused by Amtrak overhead wire issues near Newark. But travelers were faced with many delays as the system made up for the lost time.

Service is now running on the Northeast Corridor Line between Penn Station New York and Trenton. The North Jersey Coast Line has also resumed service between Penn Station New York and Woodbridge.

Raritan Valley Line trains continue to originate and terminate at Newark Penn Station.

NJ Transit says Amtrak overhead wires came down on an NJ Transit train around 7 a.m. just east of Newark Penn Station. A second train also lost power in North Elizabeth when part of the overhead structure fell.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said the cold weather played a role in these issues. She says the situation was “unacceptable.”

NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri apologized to riders in a social media statement.

He wrote in part, "We know you depend on us, and experiences like this fall short of the services you deserve. Please know that our teams are focused on learning from this morning's events and are doing everything possible to prevent similar disruptions in the future."

Amtrak owns the Northeast Corridor and the wire system that New Jersey Transit pays millions to use.

NJ Transit rail tickets and passes are being cross-honored by NJ Transit and private carrier buses, and by PATH at Newark, Hoboken and 33rd Street in New York.

Customers are advised to check for available alternate service information.
