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.
