PATH train fire impacts morning commute in N.J. today. Video shows smoky scene.

A PATH train fire caused delays and multiple lines to be suspended Monday for the morning commute in New Jersey. 

The fire broke out at Newport Station in Jersey City, impacting service between Hoboken and Manhattan. 

The Journal Square to 33rd Street, Hoboken to 33rd Street and Hoboken to World Trade Center lines were all suspended. The Hoboken to 33rd Street line resumed a short time later, and the other two were back on track by 11 a.m.

NJ Transit, NY Waterway and buses cross-honored PATH tickets for riders seeking alternate routes. 

Several people treated for smoke inhalation at Newport Station

Chopper 2 flew over Newport Station where multiple fire trucks could be seen on the street outside. 

Port Authority officials say the fire started around 6:15 a.m. under an eastbound train at the station. The train then filled with smoke, and passengers had to be evacuated onto the platform. 

Video from inside the train showed passengers yelling for the doors to open as smoke filled the car. When the doors opened, flames could be seen coming from under the train and shooting up along the side of the platform. 

One witness said he saw people holding onto their chests and nearly a dozen getting oxygen. He said a couple were taken to the hospital. 

“I’m surprised nobody got trampled, the amount of smoke they say was inside and everything,” Eric Robinson said. 

“I hope they’re OK, that’s a scary thing to have to deal with in the morning. Getting to work and then getting smoked in. I hope they get to the bottom of it,” said another person.

Several people were treated for smoke inhalation, officials say. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
