NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An incoming NJ TRANSIT train was hit when an Amtrak train leaving Penn Station derailed Friday morning.
Around 9 a.m., Acela Express Train 2151 from Boston was pulling out of Penn on its way to Washington D.C. when Amtrak said it had “a minor derailment while moving at a slow speed.”
....
The wheel of the train had slipped off the tracks and that changed the space between trains, causing the Acela to sideswipe a NJ TRANSIT train in the adjoining lane, CBS2’s Jessica Moore reported.
