Rail travelers who have endured major disruptions recently at the nation's busiest rail station are likely to see more delays this summer because New York's Penn Station is in dire need of repair work, Amtrak officials said Thursday. Work on tracks and signals will begin in May and continue through the summer, Amtrak CEO Wick Moorman said. Some work will be done on weekends, but a significant part will be done on weekdays. Hundreds of thousands of commuters and travelers from up and down the East Coast pass through the station each day. After an April 3 derailment, eight of the station's 21 tracks were closed, causing delays and service cancellations for four days.
