Amtrak officials have restored service to the all tracks between the Philadelphia 30th Street and New York Penn stations, after flooding from inclement weather temporarily disrupted service Sunday evening.
Officials said in a statement that crews were dispatched to address this issue, but customers should expect delays.
"Customers traveling in the impacted area should expect residual delays of at least 30-90 minutes as we return to normal operations following the recent service disruption,” the statement on their website said.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for parts of New York City and Long Island.
The statement added that customers with reservations on affected trains will probably be accommodated on trains with similar departure times or on another day.
Amtrak officials said additional charges for customers looking to change their reservation during the modified schedule will be waived and customers can call their reservation center at 800-USA-RAIL.
