Amtrak claims it’s experiencing overhead wire problems in New York City.. Commuters were justifiable frustrated and took to the twitterverse “This is the third (or is it fourth?) time this week”: ,” if there are any lawyers out there, I’d be in for a class action law suit against NJT and Amtrak. We we are done with this.” , ” I’m tired of “Amtrak overhead wire problems”. Keep me interested…crew manipulation, ice patrol, something.”
