Metro-North Railroad trains filled to capacity on the New Haven Line, with many riders standing, after failure of an electrical cable limited service from Connecticut to New York for as long as three weeks.
Diesel trains ran about every half-hour today, supplemented by buses, and were able to accommodate only about one-third of the daily ridership of 130,000, according to New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs Metro-North.
