PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Amtrak Northeast services between Philadelphia and New York have been partially restored after being temporarily suspended on Monday due to overhead wire damage.

Amtrak posted on social media just after 9 a.m. about the issue. They say service is expected to be fully restored around noon on Monday.

All trains scheduled to operate in the area are expected to incur a delay of 30-60 minutes.

Amtrak says customers with reservations on affected trains will typically be accommodated on trains with similar departure times or another day. They will also waive additional charges for customers looking to change their reservation during the modified schedule.

NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line and Northeast Corridor rail services have also been suspended in both directions.
