HOBOKEN, N.J. — Workers repaired damage caused when a commuter train crashed, but the derailment of an empty Amtrak train in a tunnel was causing headaches for other commuters into New York City.
Travelers were urged to allow extra time to get to work on Monday, even though additional buses and ferries would be provided and most agencies planned to honor each other’s tickets.
However, all three tracks were up and running at the Hoboken station Monday morning and no delays were reported so far.
The PATH commuter train, headed to Hoboken from New York, crashed at about 8:30 Sunday morning as it pulled into the last station on its route, leaving 34 people with mostly minor injuries and shutting down the tracks for hours. Service was restored by Monday.
PATH train service into and out of the station in Hoboken, just across the Hudson River from New York City, was suspended for about 11 hours because of the crash.
