New Jersey Transit service in and out of New York City has resumed. It was suspended for a time Tuesday morning due to a derailment near New York Penn Station.
NJ Transit says service was suspended for a time because of a slow-speed derailment.
The agency says it was a Northeast Corridor train that departed Trenton at 7:32 a.m. and was set to arrive at Penn Station at 8:49 a.m. But just before the train arrived on the platform, it derailed but stayed upright.
By noon, the departure board inside Newark Penn Station was showing service had resumed with delays.
NJ Transit did cross-honor tickets so people like Chris Raiford could jump on the PATH.
“I still have plenty of time. I’m like, ‘You know what? I’m going to just take the PATH train because they said they were cross-honoring,” Raiford says.
NJ Transit says there were 1,500 people on board the train that derailed. No injuries were reported.
