New Jersey Transit, the second-largest U.S. public transportation system, sustained $400 million in damage from Hurricane Sandy and needs twice that amount to prevent damage from future storms, its executive director told a U.S. Senate panel today.
The losses included $100 million in train cars, locomotives and equipment, James Weinstein said in written testimony to the Commerce Committee’s surface transportation subcommittee. It was the most detailed estimate provided of the system’s costs from the storm.
