NJ Transit Woes, 10/29/2021

I saw no alerts about delays this morning due to track work between Morristown and Denville, but there were some. M-O-W equipment was on the siding west of Morristown at 10:30 am. Train 851 was held at Morristown for train 6632 to come through track 1. Train 6632 was 18 minutes late. Train 851 left once train 6632 had cleared track 1, 22 minutes late.

Alerts I did get, more expected:

So that track work had been going for a while.
