At least 50 people were hurt after an Amtrak train, carrying 240 passenger, derailed and rolled onto its side in the Frankford section of Philadelphia Tuesday night, according to officials.
Eight to ten cars left the tracks near the 2000 block of Wheatsheaf Lane.
The train 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.
Injuries are ranging in seriousness -- some walking away with scratches and brusies while others had to be loaded onto stretchers by firefighters and paramedics.
"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."
