WASHINGTON (AP) —
Amtrak says it plans to restore some service on Friday to and from New
York City, which has been without intercity train service since it was
walloped by superstorm Sandy.
The railroad said the removal of
water from flooded train tunnels under the Hudson and East rivers is
continuing so that repairs to tracks, signals and power systems can be
made. A Friday schedule is expected to be released Thursday.
Service
to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey has been
restored, but Northeast Regional service between Newark and New Haven,
Conn., and Acela Express service for the length of the Northeast
Corridor are canceled for Thursday. Empire Service between New York City
and other cities in the state, and Canada are also canceled for
Thursday.
