NJ Transit suffers major delays on all lines because of overhead wire problem near Elizabeth
NEW YORK -- NJ Transit experienced major delays on all lines Monday night because of a problem with overhead wires near Elizabeth.
Many commuters stranded at New York Penn Station were experiencing 60-90 minute delays.
In the afternoon, NJ Transit temporarily suspended service on the Northeast Corridor New Jersey Coast Lines because of overhead wire issues.
Trains operated with limited service in both directions. Westbound trains were bypassing Newark International Airport, North Elizabeth and Elizabeth. Eastbound trains were bypassing Elizabeth and North Elizabeth.
PATH trains and NJ Transit buses were cross-honoring and stops were being added to some lines to help with the backlog.
Amtrak service was also impacted by the overhead wire problem.
