Just after 3:30 p.m. Friday, the out-of-service bus was heading down Glenwood Road in Ridgewood near the tracks, said NJ Transit spokesman Kyalo Mulumba.
The bus, which was on its way to Rochelle Park to start its route, "made contact with a guardrail on a narrow portion of Glenwood Road," Mulumba said.
