Difficulties With Roosevelt Island Tram North Cabin Appears Fixed This Evening - On a Cold Rainy Night Tram Station Heat Lamps Were Off But Then Turned On


How was your commute home tonight? Roosevelt Island 360 reports on his:
Despite the reflection of light in the attached picture the heat lamp lights on the Manhattan platform were off this cold damp evening on a night where the even neglible warmth they provide would be a blessing.  Why ?
A few minutes later:
For some reason they just came on.... Assuming the temp hit the required degree for them to come on... Was cold and wet w-thout them.
and:
No screams but south cabin is swinging tonight due to winds.
Whatever difficulties the Tram's North Cabin was experiencing last night and earlier today seem to have been fixed. No word yet on what the problem was.

UPDATE 4/13, 12:40 PM-  Received this advisory from RIOC at 12:35 AM:
Per Tram Supervisor Bob Kelly, due to severe weather and lightening, tram service will be temporarily interrupted until further notice.

Sincerely,

Roosevelt Island Operating Corp Advisories Group
