Eastbound Long Island Rail Road Service is facing delays of at least an
hour after the 9:35 a.m. train derailed at Jamaica Station. Eastbound
service had been suspended out of Penn Station, but it was restored.

Two trains "bumped into each other"-- the 9:35 a.m. out of Flatbush
jumped the tracks when it hit the 9:34 a.m. to Huntington. Hundreds of
passengers were unloaded from both trains and NYC Transit is honoring
LIRR passes at Flatbush Avenue, Penn Station and Jamaica Station.

While the MTA's service alert says "There are no reported injuries as a
result of the derailment," the FDNY says there are 20 minor injuries.
