WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) Nearly 200 Metro-North rail passengers were stranded in freezing temperatures for about two hours when their train lost power in Connecticut because of a downed wire that continues to cause delays.

The train stalled at about 9 p.m. Wednesday near the Green's Farm station in Westport and the passengers were stuck without heat until another train arrived at about 11 p.m. The train left Grand Central Station in New York bound for New Haven shortly after 7:30 p.m.

Temperatures were reported to be about 10 degrees at the time.

Metro-North officials say the train sent to get the stranded passengers was delayed for about an hour because of a weather-related switch problem.

The downed wire is causing delays of up to 20 minutes Thursday morning on the New Haven Line.
