Some commuter service restored in Hoboken, N.J., after morning train crash

Some commuter train service was partially restored in and out of Hoboken, N.J., Thursday evening, hours after a morning train crash at the station left at least one person dead and more than 100 people injured.

Agencies and bus lines stepped in to try to fill in the gap left by the rush-hour tragedy.

New Jersey Transit trains remained suspended but Port Authority Trans-Hudson or PATH trains were operating on modified schedules and honoring New Jersey Transit tickets. Transit "ambassadors" wearing safety vests guided people to shuttle buses from Hoboken to another nearby transit hub in Secaucus, N.J. Photos of the scene late Thursday showed commuters rushing past the wreckage of the train that failed to stop as it reached the end of a 17-stop run from Spring Valley, N.Y.

New Jersey Transit used social media Thursday afternoon to send out alternate transportation plans as did the PATH system and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.

New Jersey Transit also boosted bus service between Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan and Hoboken.

The New Jersey Transit line that experienced the crash and three other New Jersey Transit lines were operating on weekend schedules and using nearby Secaucus, N.J., as their hub. Three lines serving northern and western New Jersey were operating on limited schedules. Five more lines were operating on normal schedules.

Metro North Commuter Railroad also stepped in, adding bus service to places in New York State north of New Jersey.

Hoboken Terminal,a major transit hub in the New York City area, serves 50,000 passengers daily.
