Train fire delays rail service on Northeast Corridor line

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. (AP) -- Rail service on the Northeast Corridor line was briefly disrupted when a fire on a train forced the route to be shut down between Trenton and Metropark station in Woodbridge.

Authorities say the fire broke out Wednesday morning on a train traveling near West Windsor Township. That caused a service disruption that lasted about 30 minutes.

Normal service has resumed on the line, but New Jersey Transit says delays of up to 30 minutes are possible. The agency also says New York-bound passengers leaving from Hamilton and West Windsor will first have to take a westbound train to Trenton.

The cause of the train fire remains under investigation.
