A New Jersey Transit train struck and killed a person on the tracks Saturday morning.

At 8 a.m., the train hit a woman trespassing on the tracks in Glen Rock, N.J., just east of the Ridgewood Interlocking.

Train No. 1857, which was on the Bergen County Line, left Hoboken at 7:19 a.m. and was due to arrive in Walkwick at 8:09 a.m. It was carrying 13 passengers and three crew members at the time of the accident. None of them was injured.

Service was temporarily suspended between Ridgewood and Secaucus, but was restored shortly before 10 a.m.

The victim has not been identified. The case is under investigation. 


This is most likely a suicide by train, an easy way out of someone's mental problems.
