US: Amtrak rail service disruptions reported between Baltimore, Md., and Philadelphia, Pa., due to trespasser in Wilmington, Del., April 29

Significant disruptions, including delays and cancellations, will likely affect Amtrak train service between Baltimore, Maryland, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, over the coming hours after a trespasser reportedly prompted authorities to launch an investigation in Wilmington, Delaware, April 29. Amtrak has reported that customers traveling between the cities should prepare for "lengthy delays" due to the investigation and consequent single-tracking conditions. Officials did not immediately provide an estimate as to when passenger rail service would be fully restored.

Heightened security will probably affect the vicinity of authorities' investigation in Wilmington. Disruptions will likely continue to affect train service between the cities even after authorities conclude their investigative work and single-tracking procedures are lifted in the event that Amtrak needs to reposition its rolling stock.
