That makes sense, a few weeks ago Amtrak was having a helicopter doing inspection work of the NEC in the vicinity of North Brunswick.

Very interesting. I've seen PSE&G fly a helicopter very, very low in a similar fashion. They'll fly over the transmission towers and inspect them. Sometimes a guy has to reach out and touch the wires with a metal rod to insulate the helicopter so they can get right next to the wires and fix things.
