    Fire department officials say it happened Thursday night.

    There are no reports of injuries.

    The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it believes the derailment involves a New Jersey Transit train. The MTA says no Long Island Rail Road trains are affected.

    NJ Transit hasn’t returned a phone message seeking comment.

    The busy Northeast Corridor area around Penn Station has been beset by problems in the last few months. At least two previous derailments, a power failure, signal problems and other issues at Penn Station have pushed Amtrak to begin replacing aging tracks and other equipment and have caused numerous delays for commuters. A massive two-month repair project is set to launch Monday.

    Amtrak owns and operates Penn Station.
