NEW YORK — An NJ Transit derailed at New York Penn Station on Monday morning.

NJ Transit spokesman Jim Smith said Northeast Corridor train #3926 that left Trenton at 7:30 a.m. was involved in a "slow speed derailment" on track #9 around 9 a.m.

Four passengers suffered minor injuries, according to Smith, out of the 1,200 passengers and crew on board.

In a video posted by Twitter user "NJTCommuter," passengers are seen getting off the train calmly, and several police officers are seen on board.

NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and Raritan Valley Line are operating to-and-from Newark Penn Station and Secaucus. Midtown Direct was directed to Hoboken.

Tickets were being cross-honored system-wide among NJ Transit buses, private carriers and PATH at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken and 33rd Street in New York, as well as the New York Waterway.

It's the second derailment involving a NJ Transit train in less than two weeks. An Amtrak Acela train leaving the platform bumped a NJ Transit train on March 24, suspending service for much of the day.
