89 days ago, an amtrak train

derailment in philadelphia killed eight people. 89 days later, amtrak is still fighting for funding that it says is necessary to protect passengers. today, the problems with the northeast corridor became even more apparent as officials with amtrak testified before state law makers in new jersey. >> that corridor is the nation's busiest rail line but also has some of its oldest infrastructure and riders through new jersey have been suffering because of that. over the last two weeks, new jersey transit trains have faced major delays because of power problems in the hudson river tunnel. that tunnel is about 100 years old. today, amtrak said fixing that tunnel needs to be a priority. >> but as nbc's brian thompson reports, fixing it won't come easy or cheap. >> i would like to begin by offering my apologies. >> reporter: an amtrak official apologizing for the breakdowns and delays that bedeviled commuters from philadelphia to new york and beyond during the week of july 20th. railroad vp stephen gardner showed off this burned-out cable

from one of the hudson river tunnels that dates to the 1930s. he frankly warned -- >> it's quite possible the delays will become the norm at some point. >> reporter: there was a picture of one of the sandy-flooded tubes from three years ago. the seeping corrosion getting much of the blame for these recent breakdowns. these pictures show structures that literally date back more than 100 years, adding urgency to the need for new tunnels so the old ones can be repaired and capacity increased. >> they do need it badly. >> probably lack of money. it's economics. >> reporter: two riders' take on amtrak's case for billions more to fix what ails it. so where will the money come from? amtrak today said the feds will pick up 80%, leaving the rest to a state and railroad mix. committee chair bob gordon. >> i learned for the first time that the federal government is willing to put up 80% of the funding. >> reporter: that could be music to the ears of commuters. though even if a deal comes tomorrow, new tunnels to new york may not be ready for a

dozen years or so. the question now, is this offer of 80% federal funding enough to get the governors of new york and new jersey to the bargaining table after their statements this past weekend saying they had to have more money or more fairness in who pays what. brian thompson, nbc 10 news. coming up next on "nbc 10 news at 6:00" we are following two breaking news stories. a boy hospitalized after sand collapsed on top of him at the jersey shore. the latest on his condition. plus, nbc 10 is on the scene of breaking news in delaware. what police have uncovered about a triple shooting where one person has died. glenn? kind of gloomy for august but it's only going to get worse. i will tell you when to expect some of the heavy rain to come in. plus storms in the nbc 10 first alert forecast. still looking for a place to stay during the pope's september visit? one south jersey historical spot still has some room. but why you might need to bring your most comfortable walking
