According to WNBC, both Amtrak and NJT deny that a derailment or collision took place. The disabled train (NJT 3224) got into the platform area somehow, and passengers disembarked normally, if a bit late.

Tracks 1-4 are always blocked from the west by bedrock as they are stub end tracks.

No, they are blocked from the east - their access is from the west.
