Due to a track condition, service on the JSQ-33rd & 33rd-HOB lines is suspended. NJT is cross honoring PATH ticket holders via Bus and Rail.

Shut down all day Tuesday. No word on when it will re-open

The current story is there's smoke etc in the area. I wonder if there are also suspended particles of asbestos from this 1900s era station?

On the radio Wednesday morning, they said they had a 2nd fire, and had to string new cables from 19th to 23rd street to power the tunnel ventilation system,
