The outage is also effecting NJ Transit trains which caused them to suspend all service on their heavily traveled Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast lines

A power outage stranded thousands of rush-hour commuters Thursday between New York and Washington, D.C., stopping five trains inside tunnels and forcing many passengers to get out and walk to the nearest station.

Three NJ Transit trains and one Amtrak train were stuck in a tunnel under the Hudson River heading into New York. A fifth train was stuck in a rail tunnel in Baltimore.

No word yet on what caused the power outage or when things may be back online.
