Amtrak NEC Power Outage Affects MARC Service - 5/24

At approximately 10:30 am, limited electric power was restored to the Northeast Corridor between Washington and New York City. Trains are resuming operation, but delays are expected. Full power is expected to resume at approximately 11:15 a.m. As full power is restored and trains are moved to their proper terminals, normal service will be resumed.

At least MARC has a large fleet of diesel locos versus their small electric fleet, and no tunnel restrictions to fool with. MUCH luckier than SEPTA, Amtrak and NJT
