Newark, NJ Star-Ledger, 2/11/16:

How NJ Transit plans to keep trains running during a blackout


The first steps to building a back-up power system to keep sections of NJ Transit's busiest rail lines running, after a blackout or storm knocks out electricity, were taken by NJ Transit's board Wednesday.


Story here.

It would power signals on the Morris and Essex and Main Line up to Newark Penn Station and Secaucus.

The problem I have with that statement is that the Morris & Essex Lines and the Main Line don't go to Newark Penn Station. The M&E serves Newark Broad Street, and both go to Secaucus & Hoboken.
