A fire erupted beneath a New Jersey train on Monday, resulting in several individuals being hospitalized and causing a temporary suspension of service for the majority of the morning.

The fire spewed smoke through the PATH train and Newport Station just before 6:20 a.m. and passengers were evacuated on the platform.

Port Authority Trans-Hudson officials reported that 13 individuals received treatment for smoke inhalation at the scene, with nine of them being sent to the hospital for additional evaluation.

Footage captured flames rising from beneath the train and thick smoke filling the interior. People in the video can be heard urging, “open the door,” and “easy, easy,” as they make their way off the train.

The incident led to a chaotic morning for commuters with service suspensions between Hoboken and World Trade Center, 33rd Street, and between Journal Square and 33rd Street stations.

Commuters trying to get into New York City were turned away from the Newport station all morning long.

Officials said normal PATH train service resumed by 11 a.m. after hours of disruptions.

Down on the platform at Newport, there was no sign of any damage from the morning train fire.

The incident is under investigation.

The PATH trains conduct an average of about 165,000 passenger trips daily across the Hudson River from northern New Jersey into Manhattan.
