Switching trains prompted delays of up to 60 minutes along the Northeast corridor on Tuesday afternoon, a NJ Transit spokesman said.
Everett Merrill, the Transit spokesman, said no rail workers saw flames, but there was smoke beneath a rail cab about 2:20 p.m. Transit officials safely moved passengers to another train at the Hamilton station, Merrill said
The smoke was reported on Northeast Corridor Train No. 3843 which left Penn Station at 12:37 p.m. and was due to arrive in Trenton at 2:12 p.m.
There were no injuries to the 50 passengers or crew on board, Merrill said.
The Hamilton Fire Department quickly located the smokey condition and extinguished it, Merrill said.
