rail service

Regional disputes over the travel route of a proposed passenger train service from Ocean to Middlesex counties have placed the line's future on life support.

The National Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate the collapse of a rail bridge in Paulsboro at the end of last week that led to a 7 car train derailment and the release of a hazardous chemical vapor.

Amtrak says it will resume partial service between New York City and points south, including Philadelphia and Trenton, N.J., on Thursday night.
