A signal and switch problem is causing Amtrak delays this evening between New York City and Boston, officials said.
Traffic was halted during an investigation into the problem that stopped Acela Train 2168 around New Rochelle, N.Y., just before 6 p.m. today, according to Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari.
The train was en route to Boston, Magliari said. Trains began moving again around 7:30 p.m.
Delays of up to 90 minutes were expected for trains scheduled to travel between Boston and New York in the early evening, Magliari said, with the delays getting shorter later into the evening.
