MIDTOWN — Six more tracks will reopen at Hoboken Terminal Monday, restoring full train service in and out of the station less than three weeks after a deadly train crash, NJ Transit announced.

Tracks 1 through 4, as well as tracks 7 and 8 will reopen at 4 a.m. Oct 17. Tracks 5 and 6 will stay closed as repairs continue following the Sept. 29 crash that killed one woman and injured more than 100 people, NJ Transit said on its website.

The Hoboken ticket office will resume operations on Saturday. In addition, Monday's schedule will be available online after 10 p.m. Saturday, the transit agency said. The station had partially reopened earlier this week.

"Customers may experience some delays as NJ TRANSIT personnel work with construction crews to clear the area," the agency said on its site. "Congested conditions in certain locations may also be expected at the terminal with the loss of space around tracks 5 and 6."
