SEPTA train derailment on Trenton line causes delays, under investigation

Trains on SEPTA's Trenton line, which runs through Lower Bucks County, are operating on a modified schedule Thursday due to a train derailment Wednesday.

The four-car train that derailed had just left the Trenton Transportation Center heading to Center City Philadelphia at about 11 a.m. It was traveling at about 25 miles per hour and was still on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River. About 25 people were on board. SEPTA reported no serious injuries among passengers or crew.

"Fortunately, none were seriously injured," said SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch. One person was treated by a medic at the scene.

Busch said the tracks on which the train was riding are owned by Amtrak and the two transportation agencies are working to repair the tracks. The train was removed to a side location. The cause of the derailment is still under investigation.

The Trenton line will operate on an hourly schedule for the remainder of Thursday, Busch said, rather than its normal service every half hour. Rail riders are urged to check septa.org and @SEPTA on Twitter for the latest details.
