NJ Transit train riders should expect extensive delays this morning into and out of New York. A train is disabled inside a tunnel.

An NJ Transit spokesman says a train carrying about 500 passengers became stuck in the tunnel heading into New York at about 5:40 a.m. when an overhead wire malfunctioned.

The train was in the process of being moved by a little after 6 a.m.

A passenger who spoke with Good Day New York at approximately 8 a.m. said the train he was on was finally moving, three hours later.

Expect up to 45 minute delays into and out of NYC; trains to Hoboken are subject to up to 15 minute delays.

Midtown Direct trains are being diverted to Hoboken.

PATH is cross-honoring NJ Transit train passes as are NJT buses and private carriers at Newark Penn. Station, Hoboken & NY Penn. Station.

The Amtrak Northeast Corridor is also experiencing delays.
