An NJ Transit train lost power during Monday evening's rush hour, leaving 1,500 riders stranded, hot and aggravated for over an hour.

A 6:10 p.m. train bound for Montclair from Penn Station, NY, on NJ Transit's Montclair-Boonton line lost power and became disabled at 6:25 p.m., just east of the Newark Broad Street station, NJ Transit Spokesman Nathan Rudy said.

A rescue engine was sent to the disabled train and pulled it into the nearby station "a little before 8 p.m.," Rudy said.

The 1,500 riders got off and boarded another train that took to them to their destination. None of the passengers were treated for any injuries, Rudy said.

"Crews were working passengers safety at all time and got them all safely on the other train to go home," he said.

Trains on the line and others including the Morris & Essex line were delayed for as much as one hour following the incident.

Passengers quickly took to social media to vent their frustrations about the power loss.

The 6:10 #njtransit train to MSU has been stuck with no power for almost an hour. This is after the 5:31 was cancelled. 2 sick passengers and 1 fight so far. Rescue train is still 6 minutes away. @JamieStelter , please add @NJTRANSIT to your list — Jen Brown (@jenbrown) October 29, 2018

One woman said there were two sick passengers and one fight during the outage.

Another passenger said there was "no air" and that passengers were "passing out" while another said "it is crowded, uncomfortably hot and we all deserve a refund."
