"LIRR, Amtrak repairs (in East River tunnels) cause travel nightmare"

News Day has an article about some track problems in the East River tunnels:

LIRR, Amtrak repairs cause travel nightmare

The problem with the track in the tunnels were discovered during a Sunday night inspection by Amtrak, which owns the four tunnels. Trains could only go 10 mph max (normally 30) causing 10 to 15 minute delays for trains in these tunnels.

These are not the tunnels for Philly-NYC commuters however as we go under the Hudson River tunnels. But problems in those tunnels could be a harbinger for problems in the Hudson River tunnels.
