TRENTON, N.J. — The morning commute is improving for NJ Transit riders along the Northeast Corridor.
Spokesman Dan Stessel says trains are running 10 to 15 minutes behind schedule between Trenton and New York City in both directions.
Stessel says there were delays of up to 30 minutes because Amtrak had signal problems overnight.
The railroad couldn’t display signals. No word on a cause, but the problem is fixed.
Stessel says there are no problems on Midtown Direct or North Jersey Coast Line trains.
The Princeton shuttle is not operating for a second day. NJ Transit was unable to replace a broken engine because of the signal problems so buses are running between Princeton Junction and Princeton Station.
