Trump's refusal to release funding for Gateway Tunnel unless officials rename Penn Station in his honor has heightened concerns about Andy Byford's plans for the nation's largest transit hub.

NJ Transit and Amtrak riders faced major delays into and out of Penn Station in Manhattan during Monday morning's rush hour, according to both transit agencies. NJ Transit said rail service was suspended for roughly two hours on its Northeast Corridor Line between the station and Trenton due to "Amtrak overhead wire issues" near Newark.

Trump told Schumer he wanted Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him in exchange for unfreezing billions of dollars in funding for a New York tunnel project, connecting NJ and NY under the Hudson River.
