Metro North power problems

Amtrak will resume some Acelela service on Monday between New York and Boston as a temporary fix to a power problem in New York has proven to work.

Officials announced a plan to supply partial power to a heavily trafficked line of the nation's second largest commuter railroad as tens of thousands of commuters took to the highways and continued to scramble for alternative routes after a power failure disrupted service along the line serving the densely populated Connecticut suburbs and New York City.

Continuing power problems have forced Amtrak to cancel Acela Express service between New York and Boston through at least Sunday.
