A man was struck and killed Saturday morning by an NJ Transit train bound for Philadelphia from Atlantic City, the transit agency said.

The victim, whom officials did not identify, was hit by an Atlantic City Rail Line train shortly before 6:39 a.m. near Elwood Road in Mullica Township, Atlantic County. Officials said the man was trespassing when he was struck.

The train had departed Atlantic City at 5:55 a.m. and was scheduled to arrive in Philadelphia at 7:32 a.m.

NJ Transit said that there were no injuries to the 15 passengers and crew aboard the train and that service was continued after a brief suspension.
