"There was a plastic wrap in the catenary power wires and we were holding trains until it was removed," Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams told NJ.com in an email. "Trains are now on the move, but residual delays are expected."

The Amtrak wire problem occurred near North Elizabeth, but delays remained heavy as people packed into Penn Station Wednesday evening.
