PATH trains rolling hours after derailment

AP 8 hr ago | By Associated Press

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — PATH trains are rolling Monday, hours after 200 passengers were evacuated from a train that derailed in New Jersey.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokeswoman Erica Dumas says the PATH train struck a box truck that was crossing the tracks in Harrison, just outside of Newark, Sunday night.

Dumas says the front two wheels of the train went off the tracks.

She says four people were treated at a hospital with minor injuries.

The train was heading from Harrison to Newark at the time of the incident, which remains under investigation.

work truck ??? PATH doesn't have any public crossings

I think the only crossing are on railroad property in the Meadows Yard just east of the Harrison station. Seems to me I have seen the crossing on some PATH youtube videos.

That's correct. I believe there was (is?) a grade crossing just west of Journal Square, at the west end of the yard.
