Trains on one New Jersey Transit route that had been curtailed last year as the agency scrambled to finish installing a federally mandated braking system will finally be restored.
Transit officials and Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday that off-peak direct service on the Raritan Valley Line to New York will resume in three weeks. The trains serve towns in Essex, Union, Somerset and Hunterdon counties.
The service was halted last fall to accommodate the system-wide installation of the braking system, called positive train control.
The work caused delays and cancellations on other rail lines, and prompted NJ Transit to suspend service to Atlantic City.
Atlantic City trains resumed service in May.
