Service across multiple lines was suspended for a period over the weekend as crews continued work to repair the track. Rides between Summit and New York City resumed at around 3 p.m. Sunday.

The Morristown Line and Montclair-Boonton Line are both affected due to ongoing repairs of the track.

Officials are advising travelers to expect additional travel time on all trains in the area, as a single track is being used between Millburn and Summit.

The following schedules were adjusted:

Morristown Line Eastward (To Hoboken Terminal/Penn Station New York):

Morristown Line Westward (To Dover Station):

Further detailed schedule information can be found here for the Morristown Line and here for the Montclair-Boonton Line. NJ Transit has provided alternate service route information on their website.

Patch is awaiting more information from NJ Transit on the derailment.
