Disruptions to Amtrak service continue after fire near tracks in New York City

NEW YORK (AP) — Disruptions to Amtrak service on the Northeast corridor continued Wednesday due to a fire near a train route in New York City.

Service between New York and New Haven, Connecticut, was suspended, and passengers were advised to take Metro-North. Railroad officials said Tuesday night that they expected normal service to resume at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Amtrak service between New York and New Haven was halted Tuesday afternoon after a fire broke out along tracks in the Bronx. There also were delays between New York and Washington and between Boston and New Haven.

A spokesperson for the utility Con Edison said the fire started when Amtrak employees were working on a high-voltage feeder cable and a transformer. The fire spread to a nearby warehouse and to a Con Edison substation parking lot, damaging three cars, spokesperson Philip O'Brien said.

Now, his sister wants the dogs' owners charged with murder.

Shaquille O'Neal has always been known for doing things big, so it probably wasn't too surprising when he decided to give his friend Donald Trump a luxury gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for his wedding. But the gift itself? It was classic Shaq. Don't Miss: Are you rich? Here's what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy. Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." These high-yield real estate notes that p

An attorney helping President-elect Donald Trump assemble his new administration warned career employees at the U.S. Justice Department on Monday that they could be fired if they tried to resist the Republican's agenda. His post on X came in response to a Politico which reported that many Justice Department career attorneys - civil servants who typically remain in their posts from administration to administration regardless of which party holds the White House - are alarmed by what a second Trump presidency will mean. Trump won a second term in last Tuesday's presidential election.

Elon Musk may be the richest person in the world, CEO of the most overvalued car company in the world and was rumored to functionally be Trump's co-President. Yet, despite all of his financial success, he's never been able to escape one simple truth: He is a deeply unlikable person. He can blame it on his reportedly self-diagnosed autism, but no one wants to be his friend including the Trump team, apparently, with some members telling the Daily Beast he's the "guest who wouldn't leave."

An eagled-eyed husband and wife were sailing in Hawaii when they spotted mysterious objects in the distance. Camila and Ryan Sullivan found five scuba divers drifting at sea. They told their rescuers that they were on a diving excursion. When they surfaced, they realized that they drifted away and their dive boat was nowhere to be found. The couple tried to pull them to safety but the sea was too rough. They radioed the U.S. Coast Guard. Twenty minutes later, help finally arrived.
