Here’s how ‘unacceptable’ train delays are being addressed in N.J.

Calling the delays and service suspensions of the last two month’s unacceptable, Gov. Phil Murphy, Amtrak, and NJ Transit officials announced joint plans on Thursday for short- and long-term improvements to the Northeast Corridor infrastructures and trains.

The joint plan call for fixing some of the short term issues with aging Amtrak infrastructure and equipment on NJ Transit trains that was alternately blamed for rail service suspensions that plagued the Northeast Corridor line the last two months resulting in disruption to the commute for tens of thousands of riders.

Plans also call for pursuing funds this year toward replacement of aging overhead catenary wire that powers trains, said Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardener.
