METUCHEN, N.J. — Westbound service on the Northeast Corridor line between New York and Trenton has been restored after being suspended briefly due to a downed overhead wire.

It was not immediately known what caused the wire to come down shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday in Metuchen. Service was suspended for about an hour.

NJ Transit reported delays of 15-20 minutes shortly after service was restored, and the problem also caused delays of up to 30 minutes for eastbound trains on the Northeast Corridor.
