An Amtrak passenger train has derailed in Philadelphia, leaving at least six dead and scores injured.
Rescue workers searched through the debris on Wednesday, for more victims of the wrecked locomotive, as investigators sought to determine the cause of the derailment.
The accident left rail cars mangled, ripped open and strewn upside down in the city’s Port Richmond neighborhood, along the Delaware River on Tuesday evening.
Officials said there were over 240 people on the No. 188 train on route from Washington, D.C., to New York.
Emergency officials and fire-fighters are at the scene looking for passengers who may be trapped in the wreckage.
However, the National Transportation Safety Board said it would dispatch a team of investigators to the crash site.
