Catenary issues had disrupted operations since Dec. 4

NJ Transit logoNEWARK, N.J. — Service has been partially restored on NJ Transit’s Morris & Essex line, disrupted since Dec. 4 because of an accident that knocked down support poles for the route’s catenary system.

Service resumed on Wednesday, Dec. 13. Through at least today (Dec. 14), two early trains — eastbound No. 626 and westbound No. 609 — will not operate, while a number of other trains continue to be rerouted on the Montclair-Boonton Line between Denville and Newark Broad Street. Some trains will make additional stops, while some Morris & Essex trains will operate only between Hoboken and Summit. Details on the updated schedule are available here.

Work continues to complete repairs to the catenary system at Mount Tabor, N.J., that led to the service changes earlier this month [see “NJ Transit’s Morris & Essex line disrupted …,” Trains News Wire, Dec. 5, 2023].
