SERVICE ADVISORY FOR GLADSTONE BRANCH BUSING

July 2, 2015

 

NEWARK, NJ – Beginning Monday, July 6 and continuing weekdays through Friday, August 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., buses will replace midday Gladstone Branch trains between Gladstone and Summit stations to allow for the replacement of 163 wooden catenary (overhead wire) poles with steel poles in concrete foundations in this location.  Customers are advised to build in extra travel time.

 

Normal rail service will continue to operate between Summit and Hoboken stations during these hours.

The replacement of wooden catenary poles, which were installed about 30 years ago, with steel structures, will improve the durability and reliability of the rail line’s overhead electrical wire system, especially during inclement weather and high winds – which in turn will improve the customer experience.
