​​On Sunday, July 26, 2020, a Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO) maintenance employee was struck and killed between two railcars at the Lindenwold Yard facility on track 12 east.​ The deceased maintenance employee was found by another maintenance employee at about 9:03 p.m., approximately two car lengths away from the designated employee walkway between railcars on track 12 east and a train stored on track 12 west. The stored train was blocking the designated employee walkway. ​The autopsy report by the Gloucester County, New Jersey, medical examiner indicated that the cause of death was multiple blunt trauma. When found, the deceased maintenance employee was not wearing a reflective vest and did not have a portable radio.

​​The probable cause of the accident was the maintenance employee walking in an area not designated for foot traffic between two railcars with insufficient clearance and being struck during an uncoupling maneuver. Contributing to the accident was the Port Authority Transit Corporation’s storage of railcars on the designated employee walkway and not requiring employees to use these walkways in the yard.
