A man was struck and killed Tuesday night by a NJ Transit train heading through Mullica Township to Philadelphia from Egg Harbor City, authorities said.

Train service has been suspended along the Atlantic City Rail Line following the 8:34 p.m. incident.

About 50 people were on the train when the incident happened, but no injuries were reported, said Jim Smith, a spokesman for NJ Transit.
The man's identity was not known, authorities said.

Train service remained suspended at 10:15 p.m. in both directions between Atlantic City and Philadelphia. The train was stopped at Darmstadt Avenue.

Passengers were expected to board a NJ Transit bus at the Darmstadt Avenue location and be taken to Hammonton to get on another train, Smith said.
