NEW YORK- A squirrel shocks 47,000 rail commuters after playing with power lines and causing an electrical surge that stalled mass transit in Manhattan.
The furry culprit who was electrocuted on the scene Monday afternoon caused a surge that weakened brackets and forced a loose wire to dangle and tangle a passing train, said Metro-North spokeswoman Donna Evans.
Commuters waited for hours as the train tore down all the power lines and caused other trains to not run due to lost power.
Service was restored by crews Tuesday morning.
