A fire broke out on an Amtrak work train car at New York\u2019s Penn Station, leaving five workers injured.<\/p>\n

New York City Fire Department officials said the fire broke out at about 1:30 a.m. Friday and grew into a two-alarm blaze. There were 141 personnel who responded to fight the fire, which was put out by about 4:05 a.m., according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n

The five people injured were all transit workers, with two of them taken to a hospital, according to New York\u2019s WINS radio.<\/p>\n

Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chief Janno Lieber said the blaze was the result of two Amtrak trains colliding, leading to an electrical fire, according to WABC-TV.<\/p>\n

The fire has caused several delays and cancellations with Amtrak, NJ Transit and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Long Island Rail Road.<\/p>\n

Amtrak said that \u201cdue to unforeseen track and signal maintenance resulting from a now extinguished fire in the New York area, all services traveling south of New York (NYP) are temporarily suspended. This suspension is anticipated to be in place until noon at a minimum.\u201d<\/p>\n

NJ Transit service between Penn Station in New York City and Newark Penn Station was suspended until about 1 p.m., though the agency says the resumed service \u201cis subject to up to 60-minute delays with cancellations expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Long Island Rail Road was partially suspended with some trains redirected, but was able to resume its normal service by about 6 a.m., according to the Post.<\/p>\n

New York officials have lambasted Amtrak over the incident.<\/p>\n

Mr. Lieber said at a news conference Friday that \u201cwe are all dependent on Amtrak\u2019s broken infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, wrote on X that \u201cAmtrak incidents in Penn Station\u2019s tunnels harm our entire regional transit system. \u2026 Riders deserve better than a summer of delays and excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, also a Democrat, took a different tack.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful to the brave firefighters and EMS members who responded quickly to extinguish this train fire and protect New Yorkers in a moment of danger. Let\u2019s keep those who were injured in our thoughts and wish them a swift, full recovery,\u201d he posted on X.<\/p>\n
