A rescue train was sent in to guide the stalled train to safety, but Amtrak says that train also became stuck in the tunnel.
A second rescue train is currently en route to assist the two stuck trains, according to Amtrak.
There’s currently no timetable for when service will resume as normal.
Saturday’s delays come after Amtrak said it is making good progress as the first week of the dreaded “Summer of Hell” repair work at Penn Station wrapped up without a hitch.
