The blaze was under control at 4:05 a.m., and the cause remains under investigation.

The New York Post reported that damaged overhead wiring along Track 11 prompted New Jersey Transit and the Long Island Rail Road to suspend service into the Manhattan station.

NJ Transit indicated that the Amtrak track car fire has snarled rail service.

"NJ TRANSIT rail service is experiencing significant impacts due to an earlier Amtrak track car fire in one of the Hudson River tunnels. Impacts are expected to last through the morning rush hour," NJ Transit noted in a post on X.

The NJ Transit website states, "Service is currently suspended between Newark Penn Station and Penn Station New York. Cross-honoring is in effect with PATH at Newark Penn, Hoboken and 33rd St in New York, as well as with NJ TRANSIT and private carrier buses due to an earlier Amtrak track car fire that caused damage to overhead wire and track infrastructure."
