"textContent": "A fire inside a tunnel leading to New York Penn Station is causing major disruptions for travelers from the D.C. area, with Amtrak service between Washington and New York suspended for much of Friday.\n\nFirefighters responded to New York Penn Station around 1:30 a.m. for reports of a train car fire on Track 11, according to officials.\n\nTwo people sustained serious injuries and were taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment. Three others refused medical treatment.\n\nThe fire rose to two alarms around 3 a.m. and was placed under control about an hour later, firefighters said.\n\nThe incident is directly affecting Amtrak passengers traveling between Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York.\n\nAmtrak says service between New York and New Jersey — and points south, including Washington — is not expected to be restored until later Friday afternoon.\n\nService north and east of New York is also operating at reduced levels.\n\nOfficials expect rail service to gradually resume later Friday, though delays could continue throughout the day as crews inspect infrastructure and restore normal operations.",
