Amtrak service has been restored between Philadelphia and Baltimore following overhead wire problems Tuesday morning.
Service along that stretch was suspended for about an hour and a half Tuesday; limited service then resumed. Full service was restored around 8 a.m., but riders were told to expect residual delays.
Amtrak service was suspended between the two cities for more than two hours Tuesday morning because of a problem with power lines south of Wilmington, Del., said Amtrak spokesperson Vernae Graham.
During repairs, Amtrak ran diesel locomotives through the area. The first train, a Northeast Regional train, was delayed by about three hours.
MARC service is also available for those trying to travel between Maryland and D.C.
Service restored Philadelphia to Washington. Residual delays expected . Thank you for your patience . — Amtrak Northeast (@AmtrakNEC) April 29, 2014
