Amtrak said that its Acela Express Train 2151 experienced a minor derailment at approximately 9 a.m., and clipped a NJ Transit train. All 248 passengers were evacuated safely from the Acela train.

Amtrak and NJ Transit suspended service following the incident at the station.

Amtrak has since resumed train service, although all NJ Transit service remains suspended. NJ Transit said that it is planning some outbound trains for the evening rush.
