COMMUTER ALERT: All NJ Transit rail service in and out of New York’s Penn Station has been suspended amid the evening rush hour, the transit agency announced, causing chaos for scores of commuters looking to get home — Here's what to know
All NJ Transit and Amtrak rail service in and out of New York's Penn Station has been suspended amid the evening rush hour, the transit agency announced, causing chaos for scores of commuters looking to get home.
NJ Transit said the suspension, which was announced just after 5 p.m., comes as a result of police activity near Secaucus Junction, but did not provide any further details regarding what the police activity was concerning. The Secaucus police chief said law enforcement received word that a train engineer saw two children playing on the tracks, then did not see them anymore. Police were looking to see if the children had been struck.
The Hudson County Sheriff's Office said that they are looking into the area of Secaucus Road in North Bergen for the reports of a child possibly being struck by a train. Drones were being used to investigate the area, according to the sheriff's office.Rail tickets and passes were being cross-honored by PATH at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken and 33rd Street, though throngs of people crowded the Manhattan station, making getting across the Hudson a nightmare.
