Fire in train car near New York City’s Penn Station injures five and disrupts service

Amtrak car caught fire in Hudson River tunnel resulting in overhead wire damage, according to New Jersey Transit

A fire in a rail yard train car near New York’s Penn Station injured five people and disrupted service for many commuters early on Friday, authorities said.

The fire resulted in train delays on the New Jersey Transit and Amtrak rail services into New York and briefly suspended Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) service, more than a week after a strike had shut down that system.
