News 12 is told those wires, which caught on fire at the Oak Point Rail Yard, are very important because they provide electricity for the train cars to run.
Amtrak says service is cancelled on the Northeast Corridor between New York and New Haven, in both directions.
Flames and smoke burned for about 2.5 hours Tuesday. Firefighters were on scene, but the smoke eventually went out on its own. It seems it was an isolated situation on that freight track. Luckily nothing else sparked or spread to other trains and wires.
