Prayers for all!! Watching the news,They said the train was running late. They usually come in at a speed of 20mph, but it looked to be going almost 50 or more. So so sad!! I pray there aren't many fatalities.Chat Icon Chat Icon

PATH train accident

I think it was NJ Transit, not PATH for anyone worried about loved ones

So sad - I commute on the Pascack Valley line 4x a week (on an earlier train). Thankful to be working from home today.

Someone on the train said the engineer was slumped over in the car, so it sounds like he may have had a heart attack. So sad

I often wonder about that. I know on a plane there is always a co pilot, God forbid something happens to the pilot rendering him unconscious.

On a train it's just the one engineer.
Scary

Well, they said the "dead man pedal" is supposed to prevent accidents like this. Who knows what happened here though

The building is at the end of the track. This stop is the last on the line. So the train didn't slow to stop, just kept going right on through.

So this train was not NYC bound then right? This was a Hoboken bound train?

My subway stop is exactly like that.. We stop at a brick wall. I've often thought something like this could happen but I still sit in the front car... Not anymore! I feel so bad for these people. It's so sad and scary.

Yes - there is a large walkway and then a waiting room (the building it hit).

A lot of people stand in the first car pulling into Hoboken because you can only exit in the back of the car - and they say the train was short so the car was more crowded.

On the train map here: https://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/Rail_System_Map.pdf
you can see the lines. It left the Secaucus station, and was going to the Hoboken station. There are no tracks past the Hoboken station
