BMore Light Rail shut down due to tree, power pole down

[STrRedWolf]

Well, this sucks during the Preakness.

Light Rail is shut down between North Avenue and Falls Road because of a tree and a power pole that fell on the tracks, cutting caternary power. The latter actually fell on a LR train! Photos taken by MTA: https://www.instagram.com/mtamaryland/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So:

• Limited shuttle service between Falls Road and North Avenue.
• Pimlico shuttle service moved to North Avenue LR and Rogers Avenue Metro.

Is Light Rail using wood poles for the Catenary?
Or was the pole "bent" by the falling tree?

The pole is metal, but there was a power company pole (BG&E here) that broke.
