BLACKOUT HAD MINIMAL EFFECT HERE Despite the major problems encountered by NJ Transit, Amtrak, LIRR, and Metro-North, there were very few problems reported on SEPTA's Regional Rail, particularly the R3 West Trenton and R7 Trenton lines. The R7, however, may have been impacted indirectly due to the reduced service on NJT's Northeast Corridor line. If you were planning to head towards New York or North Jersey this weekend - don't. As for 3:30pm, all inbound NJT bus service to Manhattan is suspended, with only outbound service operating to the Meadowlands, where connecting buses will be available to points in Central and North Jersey. The NEC, North Jersey Coast Line, Raritan Valley, and Morris & Essex/Gladstone and Morristown branches are operating on a Saturday schedule. Rail lines to North Jersey, including the Pascack Valley and Main/Bergen lines, are not operating. Let's hope things can get back to normal by the end of the weekend...
