The tree apparently came down on some overhead wires following heavy storms that moved through the area Thursday night.

NJ Transit is single tracking through the area.

30-minute delays are now being reported Friday morning on the Morris and Essex Line and the Gladstone Line.

That's down from 60-minute delays reported earlier.

NJ Transit rail tickets and passes are being cross-honored by NJ Transit buses and private carriers.



Commuters are advised to seek alternate routes and allow extra time heading out.
