The agency also hasn't said which specific platforms or tracks required the adjustments during the disruption period. Transit officials confirmed that trains now depart from their regular assigned platforms and tracks at both Newark and Harrison stations. The restoration means riders can follow standard platform assignments without checking for temporary changes.
