Something isn’t right (or disclosed) with this story. When there were power issues between NY Penn Station and Newark, it affected service on NJ Transit and Amtrak. Nearly all of the route between New Haven and New York (Amtrak’s route to Penn station diverges from the MNR New Haven line just south-southwest of New Rochelle) is shared with Metro-North, who is reporting no problems.
So either the problem is on the line (Hell Gate) from New Rochelle to Penn, or the problem is East of New Haven where only Amtrak and Shore Line East operate. Shore Line East isn’t reporting any delays or cancellations.
To further confuse everyone, the announcement on the Amtrak site says no service between New York and New Haven (it’s in red at the top of their home page). When you click on the link to get the details, it says that service between New York and Boston is suspended for the rest of the day.
On July 6, due to an ongoing electric power issue, Amtrak canceled service between Boston and New York City for the remainder of the day. Amtrak is communicating directly with impacted customers about this service interruption and offering options for rebooking their travel plans. Amtrak apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the disruption. Our crews are working hard to correct the issues.

I have the New London live feed on the TV. It shows a Northeast Regional heading to NYC at Old Saybrook.
