Good Luck, PATH Commuters

A noontime manhole fire has helped knock out some PATH train service tonight. WNBC reports the Christopher Street station was filled with smoke and evacuated, and the “fire damaged signals and capability cables.” Path service within 33rd Street and the Journal Square and Hoboken stations is suspended in both directions that evening and it’s unclear whether it’ll be back up for tomorrow.

The PATH stations at 33rd Street, 23rd Street, 14th Street, 9th Street and Christopher Street will be closed tonight. According to NJ Transit, PATH tickets will be honored at Penn Station

in NY and Newark. Additionally, the PATH station at the World Trade Center is open.

The Star-Ledger says 58,000 commuters use the 33rd Street line daily.
