The building was believed to house hazardous materials, so New Jersey Transit and Amtrak suspended train service while firefighters battled the blaze.
Service is expected to be normal for the morning commute.
For rush hour Thursday, NEC and NJCL rail service was restored with up to 90-minute delays. Westbound trains bypassed the Linden station.
