MANHATTAN — Commuters faced up to 90 minute delays after an electrical problem snarled trains in and out of Penn Station for the second day in a row, officials said.

A tunnel leading to Penn Station didn't have any power, NJ Transit officials said.

The power issue was resolved, but officials warned that delays would persist through the morning rush.

The FDNY was called to the transit hub to assist with a stalled train in the tube about 5:51 a.m. but left the scene about 20 minutes later, a spokesman said.

Wednesday's commuter woes come a day after a similar problem that also sparked delays in and out of Penn Station.
