(NewsCore) - OTISVILLE, N.Y. -- Delays on a New York commuter rail line this week have been attributed to the attempted theft of 500 feet (152 meters) of the fiber optic cable that provides critical signals for rail operations from the Otisville Tunnel, the Times Herald-Record reported Tuesday.http://www.myfoxny.com/dpps/news/cable- ... 6_12935737
Marjorie Anders, a spokeswoman for Metro-North Railroad, said NJ Transit lost signal function Monday afternoon at the interlockings that regulate train movement on its Port Jervis line and sent a crew to investigate.
