Metro-North said their crews are continuing work to repair infrastructure from downed power lines near Westport.

On Thursday night, 1,200 passengers on three trains were impacted. MTA officials had to cut the electricity from the downed wires and trains, so there was no air conditioning for hours.

Passengers were stuck onboard the train during that time. They were eventually escorted onto CTrail trains to take them to another station.

Officials said passengers should expect 10 to 15 minutes delays and check the TrainTime app or website before traveling.
