Gladstone Branch knocked out by tornado on Monday

105 mph winds!
I hope no catenary towers were destroyed like what happened in Maplewood (Millburn?) on the M&E a few years back from falling trees.

Looks like service has resumed to Bernardsville with bus service to stations between there and Gladstone. https://www.njtransit.com/service-advisory/1621172

It was Maplewood and just over a year ago https://www.railroad.net/catenary-suppo ... 74051.html

It is my recollection that a large percentage of the catenary in the Bernardsville vicinity is supported by wooden poles, not steel stuctures, so it is more likely that supports were damaged, but much easier and quicker to replace than steel supports.
