The Trenton-to-New York train reportedly jumped the tracks on the Northeast Corridor line just after 8:00 a.m. A view from Newscopter 7 showed that two of 12 cars left the tracks, but the train remained upright and there did not appear to be significant damage to the cars.
Reportedly there are injuries, although their extent was not immediately known. Most of the passengers were taken off the train and are not hurt. They were taken to another New Jersey Transit train.
There's no word yet on the cause of the derailment.
Amtrak expects 30 minute delays through the area because their trains use the same Northeast Corridor tracks. New Jersey Transit is reporting delays on all trains between Newark and New York. The agency is cross-honoring tickets between Newark and New York on the PATH and NJ Transit bus route 108.
