I heard this on the news here on the west coast they reported here of them finding some type of device on the tracks or something to that effect.
Northeast Corridor Train Service Back To Normal
Fallen Drum Of Hydraulic Oil Cause Of Earlier Shutdown
(AP) NEW YORK Police activity along the Northeast Corridor closed down the busy commuter rail line outside New York City for more than an hour as the evening rush hour geared up Tuesday.
NJ Transit was in the process of restoring service, Dan Stessel, a spokesman for New Jersey Transit, said shortly before 5 p.m.
"The police are off the tracks," he said.
By about 6 p.m., Stessel was saying that service was back to normal.
In a statement, Amtrak said service was restored at 4:35 p.m. after an investigation determined that a drum of hydraulic oil had fallen off a work train on nearby tracks on the New Jersey side.
Stessel said some delays were expected for NJ Transit passengers in the early part of Tuesday's rush hour. He advised passengers to check NJ Transit's Web site for more detailed information.
Amtrak temporarily suspended service at about 3:40 p.m. due to a discovery of a leak of what was then an unknown substance near tracks on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River Tunnel, Amtrak officials said in a statement.
Stessel said police were on the tracks just east of Secaucus.
