UPDATE: Computer problems led to NJ Transit trains being halted, agency says



A signal problem has halted service on 11 of New Jersey Transit's 12 rail lines.

While the Northeast Corridor, the agency's most heavily-traveled line is running, the other 10 lines are out of service, according to a New Jersey Transit spokesman.

NJ Transit buses, PATH trains and private bus carriers are cross-honoring tickets.

The shut down began at about 9:20 a.m., said NJ Transit spokesman William Smith.

"We're in the process of gathering more information," Smith said, adding NJ Transit would release additional details when they become available.
