A derailed Amtrak maintenance equipment car wreaked havoc on Friday’s morning’s rush-hour commute, causing massive delays on New Jersey Transit, Amtrak and the Long Island Rail Road in and out of bustling Penn Station.

The trouble started around 2:30 a.m. Friday, when the rail maintenance equipment car became disabled due to a mechanical failure in the North Tube of the Hudson River Tunnel outside Manhattan’s Penn Station, said Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams.

Amtrak immediately sent a rescue train to move the equipment car out of the tunnel, and while attempting to move the disabled car, one set of wheels on it derailed, according to Abrams.

The car was re-railed around 6:55 a.m., and as of about 10:30 a.m., it had been cleared out of the tunnel.

This incident had a major impact on the commuter railroads.

Shortly after 7 a.m., NJ Transit trains were facing up to 60-minute delays in and out of Penn Station due to the “minor derailment,” NJ Transit tweeted.

Amtrak trains faced similar delay issues as well as Long Island Rail Road trains.

“Every day there is something wrong,” said frustrated NJ Transit rider Joe Altomare, 61. “Every day there is something going on. I’m fed up but I have no choice.”

Altomare said the transit issues caused him to be 15 minutes late to work.

“You can’t print what I have to say,” Altomare said. “Time is money and they are wasting my time. I’m more than angry.”

Other commuters took to Twitter to air their frustration.

“I agree wholeheartedly that NJT completely sucks, but this is Amtrak’s fault,” Twitter user @StratoMasterGuy tweeted.

Another Twitter user, @jtw8, tweeted: “Train derailment at Penn Station and re-routed through Hoboken with PATH train delays. Only took 3 hours to get to work. #fail #njtransit.”

NJ Transit rail tickets were cross-honored by the agency’s buses, along with PATH and private carrier buses.

Abrams said in a statement: “Amtrak would like to apologize to our customers, NYP commuters and our commuter partners over the delays they experienced this morning while traveling in and out of New York Penn Station.”

He added that there was no damage to the infrastructure as a result of the derailment.
