Delayed trains, speed restrictions, signal problems and lots of rain were the factors behind huge Metro-North delays Thursday. Here’s the railroad’s explanation: “The extensive New Haven Line delays you experienced during yesterday's PM Rush were the result of a quick-moving summer storm with a lightning strike that damaged signal equipment between Green's Farms and Southport. “This occurred at approximately 4:30 PM preventing any train movement through the location for about 90 minutes. Signal maintainers manually operated switches to allow trains to begin moving safely on only two inside tracks at 6 PM. The other two tracks remained out of service; limiting our ability to operate trains through the area.
