5th District Candidate Josh Gottheimer Will Talk Rail Safety At Westwood Train Station Sunday

WESTWOOD, N.J. — Congressional Democratic candidate Josh Gottheimer will visit the train station at Westwood Avenue and Broadway at 11:30 a.m. Sunday.

Gottheimer, members of the New Jersey Transportation Workers Union, and Mayor John Birkner Jr. will discuss train safety.

The visit is scheduled due to the fatal NJ Transit train crash that occurred in Hoboken this week that left one woman dead and 108 injured. That train ran on the Pascack Valley Line, as do trains that stop at the Westwood station.

Gottheimer is running against seven-term incumbent Scott Garrett.
