New Jersey Transit Train Derails at Penn Station in New York.

'A New Jersey Transit train derailed as it entered Pennsylvania Station in New York on Thursday night, causing yet another round of major delays on all New Jersey Transit and Amtrak trains just days before major repairs begin at the nation’s busiest transit hub.

There was no immediate indication that the derailment, which occurred around 9 p.m., had caused any injuries or damage. New Jersey Transit said on Twitter that the episode was a “minor NJT derailment.”

Officials at Penn Station encouraged travelers to seek alternative means of transportation. Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains share the same tracks at the station.

Rich Denison, a passenger on the train, No. 3276 on the North Jersey Coast Line, said that emergency workers had boarded to check for injured passengers. He said that no one appeared to have been hurt and that it was unclear whether there had been any damage to the train.'>>>
