An electrical problem shut down morning rush hour service on Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains Wednesday, stranding holiday travelers in Penn Station and wreaking havoc on commuters.

The report of low voltage came in at 8:45 a.m., shutting down trains in both directions between New Jersey and Manhattan.

It was unclear what caused the problem or when power might return. Dozens of trains were delayed or rerouted, and Penn Station was filled with scores of disgruntled riders.

"I don't think they have any idea what the trains are doing," said Tim Blair, 46, who was waiting with his wife and daughter for an Amtrak train to Baltimore.

"We're going to try and take the bus."

Patrick Hayes, 26, was with his girlfriend as they waited for an Amtrak train to Pittsburgh for a Christmas reunion with his family.

"All the trains are delayed, and the crowd keeps getting worse," the Queens man said.

"All we need now is a few of the big trains to be canceled, and there's going to be a riot."

New Jersey commuters on some trains were rerouted through Hoboken, where they could take PATH trains into Manhattan.

Amtrak riders headed for more distant locales were hunkering down in Penn Station and waiting for any information.

"They are not telling us what's going on," Hayes said.
