NJ Transit suspended service on Monday in and out of New York’s Penn Station due to a derailed NJ Transit train.
The train, which was arriving from Trenton, was traveling at a slow speed when it derailed, causing a minor injury to one person, NJ Transit said.
The derailment comes just 1½ weeks after an Amtrak Acela train derailed at Penn Station on March 24, causing some service disruptions. No injuries were reported. Both derailments occurred during rush hour, disrupting the morning commute for a busy route between New York and New Jersey.
NJ Transit is cross-honoring tickets system wide, and MidTown Direct trains have been diverted to Hoboken.
Amtrak said on Twitter that it is monitoring the situation and will give updates.
