Downed Power Lines Means NJ Transit Delays

2008_03_njtransit.jpgYesterday's windy weather has at least one casualty: According to WNBC, power lines in NJ. Jersey Central Power & Light's commercial power lines "fell across the tracks in Montville," prompting the Montclair-Boonton line to be closed for a while. The line is open again, but this means one-hour delays for the Northeast Corridor, NJ Coast and Raritan Valley lines. NJ Transit and Lakeland buses are honoring rail tickets.

Interestingly, WCBS 2 says the problems are due to "Amtrak signal problems near Newark." So that means delays for Amtrak as well. At any rate, the aftermath of the storm and wind left thousands of residents in NJ with no power this weekend.

As for NYC Transit, the 7 train is running with delays.
