Since our administration refuses to call terror attacks what they are, could this have been labeled an "accident" when it was really something else?
An Amtrak train derailed in Philly last year due to human error by the train engineer. So yes, these kinds of things happen "accidentally."

Sure trains derail due to human error but to plow full steam ahead into a station seems highly unlikely

Maybe the driver had a heart attack and was unconcious

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.
Yeah, Hoboken is an end station or whatever you call it. I believe trains start or stop there instead of passing through. Seacucus is usually the first stop for trains coming from NYC.

I think that may have been the case here.
