Fire Damage Disrupts Rush-Hour N.Y.-N.J. PATH Train Service

NEW YORK (AP)  -- Officials say PATH service between 33rd Street and the Journal Square and Hoboken stations will be suspended in both directions through Wednesday evening.

PATH Train Alerts

It was unclear whether full service would be restored for Thursday's morning rush.

The service disruption is due to signal and power cable damage caused by a small manhole fire east of the Christopher Street Station earlier Wednesday. There were no injuries.

PATH stations at 33rd Street, 23rd Street, 14th Street, 9th Street and Christopher Street stations will be closed this evening.

PATH will run regular service on its Newark-to-World Trade Center and Hoboken-to-World Trade Center lines. It will also run trains between Journal Square and Hoboken stations.

NJ Transit will cross-honor PATH tickets at Penn Station New York and Penn Station Newark.

The fire department says the origin of the fire is not clear. It was reported shortly after noon and firefighters had it knocked down by 1 p.m.
