New England Delayed Trains?

[Acela150]

Several trains to/from New England are becoming delayed around New Haven. Any ideas what is going on around NHV?

Storms or storm damage?

That is entirely possible. I forgot they were getting some nasty storms up there today.

At one time today, in RI we had 6 (SIX) weather advisories at one time!

This included severe thunderstorm watches, tornado warnings and flood warnings. At one point in KIN, we had 1-2 inches of rain in 30 MINUTES!

Makes me think that tracks were subject to flooding and trains had to proceed at restricted speed due to that fact and heavy rains as well.

There was about a foot of water on the tracks at New Haven State St at 5:30pm, well after it had stopped raining.

That's when delays became a problem.
