NJ Transit, Amtrak trains delayed by gas leak near station

Commuters may still face up to a 45-minute delay on both the NJ Coastline and North East Corridor lines.

NJ Transit and Amtrak trains face extensive delays from a temporary suspension of service Tuesday morning due to a gas leak near the Rahway train station.

The suspension has been lifted, but residual delays of up to 45 minutes, NJ Transit spokeswoman Lisa Torbic said.  

PATH service cross-honored NJ Transit rail tickets and passes from New York Penn Station, Hoboken, and NY-33rd street until 10 a.m.

Amtrak trains 2109 and 2100 are currently operating about 45 minutes late and train 185 is about 30 minutes late, according to an Amtrak Northeast Twitter update.

Officials say the gas leak was not related to either train system.
