Shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday, New Jersey Transit (NJT) train 7887 on the Northeast Corridor Line scheduled for arrival in Trenton at 1:32 a.m., “struck and fatally injured an adult male trespasser on the track west of the Princeton Junction station,” NJT spokeswoman Courtney Carroll said.
The train engineer saw the trespasser, 28-year-old South River, N.J., resident Kevin Greim, standing on the tracks, Carroll said, explaining that the engineer then proceeded to blow the horn and initiated emergency procedures but was unable to stop in time.
Train 7001 took on passengers from the train involved in the incident, and these were the only two trains delayed, Carroll said.
NJT trains have struck 16 people so far this year, up slightly from the same calendar period in 2007, when 14 fatalities were caused by trains striking individuals on tracks.
