Squirrel RUINS COMMUTE
30 seconds
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING, HERE ARE YOUR TOP STORIES:
47-THOUSAND RIDERS OF THE METRO-NORTH COMMUTER TRAIN IN
MANHATTAN MAY BE A LITTLE UPSET TO LEARN A SQUIRREL MAY BE TO BLAME
FOR THE POWER LOSS THAT LEFT MANY STRANDED YESTERDAY.
A METRO-NORTH SPOKESWOMAN..DONNA EVANS..EXPLAINED THE POWER
SURGE WAS CAUSED BY AN ELECTROCUTED SQUIRREL, WHO HAD BEEN
SCAMPERING ATOP POWER LINES.
THIS POWER SURGE OVERHEATED A BRACKET, CAUSING AN ATTACHED WIRE TO
BECOME ENTANGLED UNDERNEATH THE TRAIN
PULLING DOWN EVEN MORE POWER LINES.
FORTUNATELY, CREWS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM OVER NIGHT,
AND THIS MORNING TRAINS HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL SCHEDULE
