NJ Transit Train Zips Past Station; Delays 500 Riders

NJ Transit says Train 3971, heading from New York to Trenton on Monday zipped past its scheduled 7 p.m. stop at Princeton Junction. The train didn't stop until the next station in Hamilton Township.
   
Spokeswoman Courtney Carroll says the engineer's previous assignment did not include stops in Princeton Junction, Hamilton or Trenton.
   
Some 500 passengers on the Northeast Corridor had to wait for the next northbound train and got back to Princeton Junction at 8 p.m.
   
Carroll says there was never a safety risk.
   
Carroll says the engineer, who has been with the railroad for 30 years, may face disciplinary action.
