The male was hit near Manasquan Station on the North Jersey Coast Line by Train 4378, which was headed for New York around 7:30 p.m., according to NJ Transit spokesman Jim Smith.

None of the 30 passengers and crew on board were injured. Smith did not disclose the identity of the deceased.

Bus service was provided between Asbury Park and Bay Head after service was suspended for an investigation. Service was restored in time for the Tuesday morning commute.

It's the fourth fatal incident involving a train in New Jersey in the past several weeks.
