LIRR Delays!
Due to an overhead catenary problem in one of Amtrak's east River tunnels, LIRR customers are advised to anticipate possible delays up to 30 minutes on trains out of Penn Station during the evening rush hour as well as some canceled trains. Customers should listen for announcements since there will be track changes during the evening rush hour.

I had to read that three times too
There's nothing on the LIRR website yet...if they are cancelling rush hour trains I hope they do it soon so riders dont have to hang around Penn more then necessary.

If it was a canary problem, they'd probably have to evacuate the tunnel due to carbon monoxide
