Had a 30 minute delay this AM because of a broken down train near Chatham. NO announcements were to be heard in my time standing around at Summit. I learned of the breakdown through the email alert NJT sent out.
We also were delayed at Secacus Junction going up the hill to the NEC. they blamed that one on Amtrak, like they always do.
