metsfan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted July 7, 2010 Pablo is correct, however it's affecting M&E lines as well, partially due to the MidTown direct service, but also because of the inability of power supply transformers to shed heat. To that effect here is an update........ UPDATED: Rail Service Information for Wednesday, July 7, 2010 Issued: July 07, 2010 Due to equipment problems related to the extreme heat, NJ TRANSIT is advising rail customers to expect delays and cancelations during the morning commute of Wednesday, July 7, 2010.

Customers traveling to New York should transfer at Newark Broad Street for continuing service. Morris & Essex Line train 6328, the 9:43 a.m. departure from Summit, will operate with diesel equipment this morning.

metsfan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted July 7, 2010 Hmm, I wonder if has anything up?...... I am guessing they will try to keep the older equipment, if they use any at all today, on a airport-doylestown, airport-warminster, airport-west trenton type route to minimize disruptions to other service if equipment does act up. No alerts have been issued. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted July 7, 2010 All seems normal when I walked outside for a little bit. I got 4138 on a somewhat long-ish train, all most missed it, mistaking it for a F40 at first glance because it was way down there off the end of the platform. Other than that, it seemed normal, aside from the lack of electric push-puls, i think they may have parked those at MMC. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
