Downed wires are still impacting holiday travel this afternoon. Amtrak service between Philadelphia and New York was suspended this morning due to downed overhead wires blocking the tracks. A spokesperson for Amtrak says two of four tracks along the Northeast Corridor have been re-opened and trains are operating on the available tracks. SEPTA's Trenton Line is still suspended, and service is down between Philly and Cherry Hill on NJ Transit's Atlantic City Rail Line as a result. They say customers should expect delays between 30 and 60 minutes as trains are moving at reduced speeds. Image credit: Getty Images
