, the end of the line, trenton station over to the west trenton station. and then they'll have extra service running on the west trenton line coming into downtown. so you can drive to the trenton station take the shuttle bus service. another option would be driving to the corn wells height park and ride. take advantage of that huge parking lot that is there. ninety-five in woodhaven road, shuttle buses will take commuters over to the market frankford line at the frankford transportation center, and bring you into downtown. new jersey transit's game plan pretty much same, same concept, from the trenton station, you can use the river line down to the patco high-speed line and take the patco line up and over the benny into toward downtown philadelphia. pack your patience, parking is going to be an issue septa throws out couple of tips like carpooling, or maybe having someone drop you off at some of the stations, because some of these smaller stations obviously don't have the larger parking lots. let's go now to the amtrak situation. service suspended again tod

so the trenton regional rail line uses the same tracks. it is the main line between trenton and philadelphia that line service suspended indefinately. so any of the commute that's would typically get on at croyden, the cornwells heights park and ride, even up here in trenton, you can work your way over to the language hoard station -- langhorne station, or the warminster or doylestown line as alternate to the trenton line this morning. obviously not easy commute for the 11,000 commuters that use septa's trenton line, each and every day between not only trenton new jersey but of course that comes down the entire main line and heads into center city. so the trenton chestnut hill west lines, service suspended this morning as well as amtrak service suspended on the northeast corridor. however, new jersey transit they're cross honoring all amtrak passes this morning. our continuing coverage of this fatal amtrak accident more when we come right back. >> no seconder, under which there would be any service through philadelphia on this amtrak line,

taking passengers from the trenton station over to the west trenton station. om there they're then going to have extra trains all day long on the west trenton line giving the commuter as chance to come into center stevie ya that option. or you can drive to the cornwell heights park and drive which is right off of the of 95 interchange. that big parking lot there will hold a couple hundred cars. shuttle buses will take those commuters to the frankford transportation center and then the market frankford line from there. how about some options on the new jersey side? of course, we have the river line which runs parallel to i-95. so from the jersey side, commuters can take the river line from the same trenton station down the jersey side. pick up the patco high speed line and then over the ben franklin into philadelphia. of course, anyone leaving philly and heading north you'll do both of those options and of course you'll have the reverse commute. tomorrow and friday this is going to be the game plan. today i think was a lot of folks did have the opportunity to ta

the trenton line uses the same tracks.m end ton line -- trenton line will not run through the day. septa says it's possible it may not run through the rest of the week. it's yet to come how long the impacts are lasting at this point. chestnut hill east line is running on the and time, chestnut hill west line not running. also affecting local closures through port richmond. more on that coming up. >> karen thanks so much. >>> we'll have continuing coverage of this accident throughout the day on "action news" on 6abc.com and our 6abc news apps. stay with our many platforms to get any breaking developments plus pictures and video from the scene. >> now it's time to turn to dave murphy who will give us a sense of the weather for people out there working. >> only one weather issue for us today it's going to be rather blustery and windy. i don't know that that necessarily affects rescue and recovery efforts. otherwise we're drive storm tracker six live double scan shows you that. as we take a look outside skies center city every

station over to the west trenton station. from there septa beefing up service on the west trenton regional rail line to come into downtown philly. or you can drive to the 95 corn wells height park and ride, which is right there at the woodhaven road ramps. from there septa will provide shuttle buses over to the frankford transportation center and folks can use the market frankford line into center city. option three you can drive to anyone of the stations along the way. but keep in mind, the parking will be at a premium some park some stations have, more parking, than other. for the viewers on the jersey side, there is new jersey transit service between new york and trenton river line which will get you down to the patco high-speed line, bring in you toward philadelphia. amtrak service still suspended today. new york to philadelphia. same deal as yesterday. so that includes the reginald, that also includes the asela express. some thursday tips for you give yourself some extra time. think about carpooling. remember parking is g
