ELIZABETH, N.J. (CBSNewYork) A suspicious device was found on the Northeast Corridor train tracks in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Sunday night.
The suspicious item was found in the area of North Broad and Westfield Avenue.
Area businesses have reportedly been ordered to shut down and evacuate as bomb technicians have a robot checking the suspicious device.
A hazmat team has also been requested to the scene.
Police are evacuating and securing the area around the train line.
Service has been temporarily suspended between Newark Airport and Elizabeth stations in both directions.

We are lucky no one was killed by these bombs yet.
“Amazing - it WAS two people - not a camera - AND they quickly notified the police.”
Sounds more like two crackheads looking for something of value to pawn for drugs. And they told the police after they had screwed with it and seen wires. Probably missed being vaporized by sheer luck.
This just happened
ELIZABETH, N.J. A large explosion was heard in New Jersey early Monday near the scene where a suspicious package that appeared to contain pipe bombs was discovered earlier near the Elizabeth transit station. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nyc-explosion-fbi-cops-investigate-vehicle-interest-n-y-new-n650306
One bomb robot probably destroyed. I hope they have more.
They came very close to being blown into particles.....

Check out article and comments.
Thanks, rdl6989.
Read online the two men are homeless..maybe they thought there was something of value that they could pawn to make some cash, they are lucky they could have easily become fertilizer
Twitter posts saying it was a controlled explosion by bomb squad....
“Read online the two men are homeless...”
One of the major reasons people are homeless is drugs.
NBCNews: RT Miguelnbc: Mayors spokesman confirms controlled explosion in Elizabeth,NJ. Says there may be more “booms” as “multiple” devices
[Read online the two men are homeless...]
Those two should be given a place to live. They saved many lives tonight.
I wonder, how much the government spend to bring the ‘possible’ NJ terror cell to America?
Which is why they probably thought there was something valuable inside that they could pawn for drugs..either way they are lucky they were not blown up to smithereens
Contradicting reports.
all three devices found have had flip-phones as part of the mechanism
are flip-phones Obama phones? who is still selling flip phones?
Probably prepaid cell phones, you can go into any CVS and buy one..untraceable
Imagine how many commuters will be traveling that track in just a few hours.
