Fire officials at the scene today said metal that appeared to be from a rail pierced the bottom of the train and the wheels lifted up. They said the crash also damaged a work area beyond the tracks.
Governor Andrew Cuomo said the train was moving very slowly. He said it "wasn't really a derailment."'
Eleven of the injured were taken to hospitals. Officials at the scene estimated that 600 to 700 people were on the train.
The cause is under investigation.
