Wall Street Journal: problems restoring PATH service

Wall Street Journal article about problems restoring PATH service:

The pink, rectangular icon on the computer screen representing the progress of PATH train 5780 blinked, as the cars rolled out on the westbound tracks from the World Trade Center station. Then, just at the mouth of the tunnel under the Hudson River, the pink rectangle disappeared.

To dispatchers in Lower Manhattan, that is the most obvious sign that all is still not well with PATH, a vital link for New Jersey commuters that still isn't back to full operation nearly three months after superstorm Sandy.

On one section of the system, restoring even limited service has required workers to reach back in time, using a system to move trains that dates to the age of the telegraph.
