wind ??? tree???Stuck TRE due to outage around Metutchen. Details?
The line came down at the substation between Metuchen and Metropark, Piotr and I passed by there on Acela around 6:20pm. I then passed it going in the opposite direction on NJT around 6:50pm. By then there were several PSE&G folks there track-side looking very worried and scratching their heads. Later the cable that was worrying them came down and blew away the catenary with it. Standing at PJC we saw a Catenary Maintenance car go by and soon after that the announcement about temporary shutdown came through. At which a point a bunch of us negotiated an acceptable deal with a cab to get us to Metropark and we took off in the cab.PSEG transmission line across the tracks. Due to high winds. No busing and maybe resolved by 22:00
Thankfully Amtrak had the foresight to position a Catenary Maintenance vehicle in Philly just for this emergency. They covered up the positioning movement by pretending to make it part of the equipment display. :lol: :lol: :lol:Standing at PJC we saw a Catenary Maintenance car go by and soon after that the announcement about temporary shutdown came through.
YES! :angry:Is the_traveler going to blame mother nature if he doesn't hit select this year?
