A commuter train crew discovered Paul T. Schneider, 60, dead on the tracks around 10:30 p.m. Thursday near the Glen Street bridge, according to NJ Transit.
Schneider's last known address was in Ridgewood, but police were told he no longer lived at that residence, transit agency spokeswoman Jennifer Nelson said.
