Delays anticipated after train derailment at Penn Station

NEW YORK – New Jersey Transit has limped back into service following a train derailment at New York’s Penn Station that also has affected Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road riders.

No serious injuries were reported when the train derailed around 9 a.m. Monday while entering Penn Station at slow speed. It came a week and a half after an Amtrak train partially derailed while leaving Penn Station.

The railroad resumed limited service at midday after Monday’s derailment but predicted afternoon rush-hour delays of up to 30 minutes.

The Long Island Rail Road says it is bracing for afternoon and evening delays because of “limitations on track and platform space.”

Amtrak says it has resumed operations.
