Train service operated by Amtrak was suspended on Sunday between New York City and Albany due to structural concerns.
The issues concern a privately-owned building above the Empire Line tracks in the city, Amtrak said Sunday afternoon. Service for the rest of the day was suspended.

Trains 290 and 48 will be combined to travel as one train.
