Breaking: Commuter train crashes in Hoboken, N.J., train station

From the pictures looks like quite a lot of damage.

Full story at the Wall Street Journal

Quote:
A commuter train crashed into a Hoboken rail station in New Jersey at rush hour Thursday morning, a spokeswoman for NJ Transit said.

The area was quickly filled with emergency crews and police, according to officials and people at the station.

It wasn’t immediately clear if there were any injuries.

An alert sent out by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said all PATH service into and out of the Hoboken station has been suspended indefinitely.
