There as a terrrible accident in Hoboken today as a New Jersey Transit train entering the terminal crashed. One person was killed while at least 74 were injured. The details may be found in this article on the CNN web site. The accident will be investigated thoroughly as it needs to be determined if it was caused by mechanical failure or human error.
The line I take from NY Penn to Newark Penn does not go to Hoboken so I was not affected. From 1979-82 I worked at Schering in Bloomfield, NJ and commuted there from Queens. Back then I took the PATH to Hoboken and changed to the Montclair line which was part of the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. New Jersey Transit did not become an entity until a few years later.
