Amtrak has suspended train services between New York City and New Haven due to fires near the tracks in the Bronx. The fires were triggered by an explosion at a Con Edison substation, affecting Amtrak's operations. Firefighters responded to two incidents, one at a warehouse and another at an Amtrak substation. The fire at the substation caused a high voltage feeder line to ignite, leading to power shutdowns and delays for trains. Passengers are advised to use Metro-North Railroad services, which are accepting Amtrak tickets. The Department of Health recommends that residents in the area keep windows closed to avoid smoke exposure.
