Train service on a commuter line between Connecticut and New York City has been severely limited since Wednesday morning, after a failed Con Edison feeder cable led to a lack of power.
On weekdays, the Metro-North New Haven line carries about 130,000 passengers, The New York Times reported. It runs between New Haven, Conn. and Grand Central Terminal, in Manhattan.
