The move puts the former head of NYC Transit in control of one of the country's most consequential construction projects.

To illustrate the major repairs needed in one of Amtrak’s East River tunnels, a top railroad official needed to only brush his hands along a piece of metal.

The mayor joined the MTA’s call for Amtrak to make the repairs only on nights and weekends.

Amtrak said it was still investigating the "overhead wire damage" that caused Monday's disruptions.

The train service said it would be down until at least 2 pm Wednesday

All rides will be free of charge from Aug. 26 to Sept. 2, after a hellish summer for commuters.

The suspension lasted until about 2 p.m. on Monday, according to the commuter rail operator.

The two transit agencies still don't agree on what's causing all of their problems but they've pledged to work together on solutions.

Commuters are scrambling to get home after Amtrak and NJ Transit temporarily suspended service into and out of Manhattan’s Penn Station due to overhead wire issues compounded by a brush fire in New Jersey.

There were delays of up to 40 and 60 minutes as of late Tuesday morning, Amtrak and NJ Transit said.
