NEW CANAAN, Conn. — The Metro-North train service was suspended in New Canaan Tuesday after a "non-passenger train" failed to make a stop and exceeded the line by about 20 feet.
Local police are investigating after receiving the report of the derailment on Elm Street at around 7:23 a.m.
There is heavier traffic than normal in the area of Elm Street and Park Street due to the investigation, police said.
One person was transported to the hospital and everyone on board was safely removed, the New Canaan fire company said.
The MTA is providing substitute buses for passengers to continue their commute between New Canaan-Stamford. Travelers are advised to travel to Stamford for service to Grand Central and other destinations.
Service should be restored between 4:30-5 p.m. Tuesday, the MTA told FOX61.
MTA Police are at the scene; NCFD and NVCAC also responded to the scene.
