Train Stuck Under Hudson River, 30-Minute Delays on NJ Transit Thursday

Was your NJ Transit train commute delayed Thursday morning?

Five lines are running on up to 30-minute delays Thursday after a New York-bound NJ Transit train got stuck in a tube under the Hudson River, about 1/4 mile south of Penn Station. 1,200 people were on board the train when it got stuck due to mechanical failure at about 8:14 a.m. Thursday.

The train was able to back into the station under its own power, and the passengers disembarked at 8:47 a.m., Craig Schulz, an Amtrak spokesman said. A command center was set up, and the FDNY did respond, just in case they had to remove passengers from the train via emergency exits under the tunnel, he said.

The Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, Raritan Valley, Morris and Essex and Montclair-Boonton lines are all running up to 30 minute delays because of the stuck train.
