At least 50 people were hurt after an Amtrak train, carrying approximately 238 passengers and five crew members, derailed and rolled onto its side in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia Tuesday night, according to officials.
Eight to ten cars left the tracks near the 2000 block of Wheatsheaf Lane. The train, Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188, was heading to New York from Washington, DC.
"We were rolling along nice and smooth and then all of a sudden we were on our side," said Don Kelleher, one of the passengers.
"All of a sudden it felt like the brakes were hit hard and then our car," said Michael Black, another passenger. "We were third from the last, just slowly started going over to the side. I tried to just brace my arm against it and then just got off."
