For visibility purposes: adding the source-map-support NPM package allows for tracing typescript files in the stack trace.
It can be added on the command line with node -r source-map-support/register fileToRun.js
or programatically with
import * as sourceMapSupport from 'source-map-support';
sourceMapSupport.install();
OR
import { install } from 'source-map-support';
install();
OR with ES6 modules
import 'source-map-support/register';
