Acela 2155 service disruption (1/21)

[Tlcooper93]

My friends were traveling to NYC from Boston, and as a small gift I gave them 2 of my upgrade coupons to enjoy Acela 1st class, which they really did (as they txted me so).

Unfortunately, 2155 broke down today somewhere near NHV, and they had to transfer to a regional (I feel terrible for being such a train advocate to them only to see Amtrak break down).

Any places where I can find a more detailed explanation of what happened, for now and for future reference?

Other than Twitter there might be talk on the NEC FB group, though I have not seen anything.

Acela Train 2155 is currently stopped west of Providence (PVD) due to mechanical problems. Update to come.

 

[OBS]

With the cold, snowy weather it could be any variety of things. I doubt any more info will come to light.

Very cold but clear and dry in southern New England last night. No snow in the air or on the ground.
