What a tragic mess. At least 4 dead, 63 injured - the train was near Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx, headed for Grand Central Station. There were 100 passengers aboard.
WABC7 said that the area where the train accident occurred is known to be a dangerous curve. Another train derailed at the same spot in July.
Authorities said it was unclear what caused the derailment, but a passenger on the train told WABC7 that the train appeared to be going faster than usual.
Five of the seven cars derailed; three of the four killed were thrown from the train after it derailed.
