NJ Transit had suspended service on the Northeast Corridor and the New Jersey Coast Line for the same issue.
NJ Transit says Amtrak crews worked to clear the wires, but power was lost to the signal system forcing trains to proceed at reduced speeds.
As a result, numerous trains were delayed Monday evening with significant crowding.
