Here's a photo of the incident...judging from the photo I'm guessing the t/o must have somehow forgot to stop the train while approaching the bumper and just ran right past it; again nobody knows yet what happened..PATH service suspended to/from the City and NJ Transit cross-honoring according to the newscast.

Ooohhh this doesn't sound good at all....

I wonder what happened? Could this be a repeat of the R143 accident at Canarsie when the T/O was incapacitated? The amount of injuries seems really high, so it seems that the train was at a fairly decent clip when the incident happened.

It seems like that too. Plus, there are strict speed limits entering Hoboken, so I guess something must have happened to the T/O.

More recent news states that the cause was mechanical failure.....

uh oh...

I smell suspension for that T/O
