The Latest: Train service resumes after New Jersey crash

The Latest on train service resuming at Hoboken Terminal more than a week after deadly crash (all times local):

6:30 a.m.

Commuter rail service has resumed at a New Jersey transit station damaged after a train crash killed a woman on the platform and injured more than 100.

Eight of the 17 tracks at Hoboken Terminal reopened Monday.

Tracks 1 to 9 will remain out of service until further notice as repair work continues in that section of the busy station.

Train 1614 slammed through a bumper at the end of the track and dislodged an overhead canopy, showering debris onto the train on Sept. 29. Federal investigators say the train sped up and was going twice the 10 mph speed limit just before the crash.

Passengers who were on the train can reclaim their belongings at the customer service center.

PATH is cross-honoring NJ Transit rail tickets until 2 a.m. Tuesday.

Rail service at a New Jersey transit station damaged after a train crash that killed a woman on the platform and injured more than 100 is scheduled to resume Monday.

Eight of the 17 tracks at Hoboken Terminal will reopen, according to New Jersey Transit.

The agency says Tracks 10 to 17 will be open for rail service, beginning with the first train. But Tracks 1 to 9 will remain out of service until further notice as repair work continues in that section of the busy station, where commuters connect with other trains and with ferries heading into New York City

Since the rail service will be modified in and out of the terminal, NJ Transit warned commuters that its bus, rail and light rail services may experience crowding conditions and delays.

One person was killed and more than 100 were injured on Sept. 29 when the train slammed through a bumper at the end of the track and dislodged an overhead canopy, showering debris onto the train. The federal agency investigating the crash has said the train sped up and was going twice the 10 mph speed limit just before the crash.

With the resumption of service, a new rule will require that the conductor join the engineer whenever a train pulls into the terminal. That means a second set of eyes will be watching as a train enters the final phase of its trip at stations where there are platforms at the end of the rails.

In the Sept. 29 crash, the engineer was alone at the time. He has told federal investigators that he has no memory of the crash.
