I have been told it was a mylar type balloon and the concern was that it if it did pop near the overhead wire that it could cause some kind of damage. Given the major subway delay back in April that resulted from an overhead issue, we'd rather error on the side of caution.

A Mylar balloon caught between pantograph and overhead wire would not be a pretty sight

The word 'pantograph', on the other hand, is always a pretty sight
