A Metro-North Railroad train derailed Sunday morning in the Bronx along the Hudson River, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said.
Five of the seven cars on the southbound train from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., left the tracks about 7:20 a.m. near the Spuyten Duyvil station under the Henry Hudson Bridge on Metro-North’s Hudson Line, the spokesman, Aaron Donovan, told NY1.
The Fire Department reported “multiple injuries,” according to The Associated Press. Mr. Donovan said the extent of injuries was not immediately known.
Police and fire departments were sending emergency medical workers to the scene. Firefighters could be seen lowering stretchers into the cars, which were lying nearly on their sides; one car was just above the water.
The train left Poughkeepsie about 5:54 a.m., Mr. Donovan said, adding that it was unlikely to have been carrying many passengers.
“We are just not sure” what caused the derailment, he said. “That will be the subject of a detailed investigation.”
All service between the Croton-Harmon station and Grand Central Terminal was suspended, he said.
