WASHINGTON (AP) — Transit officials say train service has resumed in and out of Washington's Union Station. Trains had been halted temporarily Wednesday because of a fire on the tracks north of the station.
Amtrak trains were also affected by the fire. Amtrak initially described the incident as an "overhead power issue." Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham says the incident is under investigation. Amtrak says travelers should expect delays of 30 to 45 minutes throughout the morning rush hour.
