Morris and Essex Line rail service was temporarily suspended, but has since resumed with delays and cancellations. NJ Transit rail tickets are being cross-honored by NJ Transit bus and private carriers. This is the second time this week that overhead wire issues in Maplewood have affected NJ Transit service.
