Operative words
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the resumption of train service on the Waterbury Branch Line, beginning Monday, October 26, 2020. The restoration of rail service follows a six-month suspension and bussing of the service, to allow rail line construction projects to be accelerated.... CTDOT and Metro-North Railroad would like to remind customers to always wear a mask or face covering and to practice social distancing to the greatest extent possible at stations and onboard trains.
Enforcement
Operator schedule decision; mask rule under EO 7NNN
Notes
Service announcement graded context: the Danbury and Waterbury branches were 'suspended to accelerate ongoing capital projects, while ridership levels remain at historic lows' (Ex. 041), i.e., a suspension made possible by the ridership collapse under the Governor's orders.
