New York.– A fire under a train at the PATH station in Newport (Jersey City) forced passengers to evacuate and suspended several lines during Monday's rush hour. Smoke was detected around 6:15 a.m., generating chaos and medical attention for some users due to smoke inhalation.
The affected routes included Journal Square–33rd Street and Hoboken–World Trade Center, although service between Hoboken and 33rd Street was later restored. As an alternative, PATH tickets were accepted on NJ Transit and NY Waterway.You may be interested in: Motorcyclist dies after being hit in Queens; driver flees
