Two people died and more than 30 were injured when a passenger train crashed into an excavator on the track and derailed in the US state of Pennsylvania.
An Amtrak official said the injured were taken to hospitals after the train derailed at Chester just outside of Philadelphia on Sunday morning.
Chester fire commissioner Travis Thomas said the two people killed were not passengers on the train.
Those taken to hospital had non-life-threatening injuries.
Amtrak said the train was carrying more than 300 passengers and seven crew members and was heading from New York to Savannah, Georgia.
The National Transportation Safety Board will be investigating.
