PATH train service (NJ), between New Jersey and New York has been suspended due to an electrical fire in the PATH'S main control center in Jersey City's Journal Square, according to Steve Coleman, Port Authority spokesman.
Coleman when interviewed said it was unclear how long it would take to get the trains be back rolling again. NJ Transit is honoring PATH tickets between New York and Hoboken during the outage. Service was stopped at 1:20 p.m. after the fire started in wiring at PATH's control center in Jersey City.
According to a report in the Jersey Journal, all trains on the tracks have been brought into the nearest station. Fire trucks were sent outside the building and the damage was being assessed, according to Coleman.
No reports injuries have been reported so far.
PATH, the Port Authority Trans-Hudson, is a rapid transit railroad linking the routes of Manhattan with New Jersey, and providing service to Jersey City, Hoboken, Harrison, and Newark. It is operated and managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
PATH has an average weekday ridership of about 250,000 passengers.
When will be PATH be back rolling again on its tracks? I hope it will be soon.
