Rail service into and out of Penn Station New York has resumed with 60-minute delays after a brief interruption Tuesday.

Midtown direct service is being diverted to Hoboken until the issue is resolved, transit officials said.

"At approximately 8:55 a.m., Northeast Corridor train 3926, which departed Trenton at 7:32 a.m. and was scheduled to arrive at Penn Station New York at 8:49 a.m., experienced a minor, slow speed derailment just prior to arriving at Penn Station New York," NJ Transit said through a spokesperson. 

The train remains up right and no injures were reported, officials said. There are approximately 1,500 commuters and crew on board.
