Trains & Rail Transportation

Pennsylvania & New Jersey Train Accidents – The Northeast Corridor

The Northeast Corridor (NEC), identified as the electrical passenger rail system of the Northeast United States, is regarded as the busiest train corridor in the western hemisphere. The NEC rail system is primarily owned and utilized by Amtrak.  New Jersey, being the most densely populated State in the nation, relies on the advantages of public transportation and is essentially a gateway corridor for passenger service to Mid-Atlantic and Northeast destinations (New York, Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia and Boston and all points in-between). Pennsylvania utilizes both dense passenger rail traffic through major city centers and also major freight lines associated with agriculture and commercial products.

Should you require the assistance of an attorney as a result of a train accident or involving the rail system, you should seek counsel familiar with the transportation and injury laws of the respective state(s).
