Frustration and gridlock hit Metro-North riders
Interstate 95 turned into a parking lot as tens of thousands of Metro-North commuters sought alternatives after a high voltage feeder cable failed at a suburban New York station. Con Edison said repair could take two to three weeks, with Gov Malloy warning of long-term service cuts on the busy New Haven line serving 125,000 daily passengers. Amtrak offered limited NY to Boston service and riders faced crowded trains, while many planned to work from home.
