Amtrak suspended all service along the Northeast Corridor due to the weather conditions. PATH is cross-honoring Amtrak tickets due to the cancellations.
Despite our best effort to restore service between BOS and WAS today, we have determined at this time it is not safe to do so. Hazardous conditions for our customers & crews have led us to cancel all Amtrak service on the Northeast Corridor until tomorrow. We sincerely apologize.

New Jersey Transit was also experiencing delays due to the weather. Trains into and out of New York Penn Station were subject to up to one-hour delays. Systemwide cross honoring is in effect.
Heavy rains and flooding raised some concerns at Hoboken Terminal, where standing water was sitting on the train tracks. An NJ Transit spokesperson told News 12 New Jersey that the standing water was not impacting service as of Friday afternoon. The spokesperson added that the pools of water are not unusual at the terminal during periods of heavy rain.
