Good morning on this overcast Tuesday.

After much anticipation, there were no major problems at Pennsylvania Station as track repairs began on Monday — for commuters, at least.

But vendors there were less than pleased. Workers at several shops in the train station on Monday morning said the transit upheaval was hurting business.

During the height of the morning rush, which they said was between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., things were far quieter than usual. At Drago Shoe Repair, near the center of the station, shoeshiners stared idly out the front of the shop, their polish cloths and spray bottles at rest.

“It’s terrible, and I’m being nice,” said Wilson Silva, who manages the parlor. “There are no people. We are on life support.”
