That's terrible.

Yeah, it looks pretty horrible.

Wow .. we took the PATH train to Hoboken in July. Looks awful.

I take NJ Transit quite a bit and have been in this station often. This looks pretty bad.

I'm still impressed with how easily it was to navigate. Posters on the travel board told me exactly how to get from our hotel to Hoboken (yeah Carlos bakery) and it was easy peasy. New station at the end of the NY side was still in progress but was super nice.

How does this happen?
Since our administration refuses to call terror attacks what they are, could this have been labeled an "accident" when it was really something else?

I'm a block away from the station and I usually take the PATH train in the same station in the morning to get to Hoboken. Luckily I got an Uber instead. From what I've heard it didn't slow down at all.

So what actually stopped it?

Yeah, my co-worker caught the last PATH out of Hoboken this morning. Its crazy. My office kept calling me this morning to find out where I was because I hadn't made it to work. Talk about bad timing to be at a job interview at another company.

The platform from what I've seen. They have bumpers at the end of the track/ and then a cement platform.

Found this to be interesting:

According to those on the train who were uninjured, the train seemed to be going too fast as it entered the station, and images indicate that the train broke through a station wall, severely damaging the roof at Hoboken. NJ Transit is amidst an effort to install positive train control, a technology that can limit train speeds based on location, but the agency has not completed this work. Meanwhile, with New Jersey’s transportation trust fund out of money, work on most long-term capital projects has slowed or stopped completely, pending resolution of a debate in Trenton over the gas tax. That said, it’s not clear if PTC had a role to play in this tragic collision or if PTC could have averted it.

It was either Muslims or the operator fell asleep. Something like this doesn't just happen as an accident

We ought not to jump to conclusions. Why not just operator error? And whatever the reason it's still catastrophic.

that's a busy station, but I think it's not the one before Pen station, so the trains should be able to get around it some way. That place is going to need some structural work before it can reopen.
I've taken the train from NYC to Edison a couple of times. Crowded and so many trains running through. This will cause some serious headaches.
Sounds like a train didn't slow at all before coming in.

I finally got hold of my wife who drove into Hoboken to catch the PATH train into the city for a meeting.
She said she must have missed it by about 10 minutes as she caught the 840 PATH

It's the last stop on the Hoboken line of NJ transit and a major NJ Path hub connecting Hoboken to lower Manhattan.
The Penn Station line is a separate NJ Transit line. I'm not sure how this will affect Path service, but it will likely cause havoc on the Hoboken line with spillover of people on the Penn Station line.

Glad to hear it. I have quite a few friends in Hoboken and quite a few that take the NJ Transit Hoboken line, and so far all have checked in as being OK.
