NEW YORK — Amtrak says full service is back on its Empire Line to Albany after Saturday’s water main break that flooded some underground tracks in Manhattan.
But the MTA says there are still detours and delays on the M57 bus, which was rerouted because of the break.
Crews from the Department of Environmental Protection worked throughout the day to repair the 12-inch break between West 58th and 59th Streets on 11th Avenue.
The water led Amtrak to suspend northbound and southbound Empire Line service, forcing passengers to switch between Amtrak trains and Metro-North in Westchester.
