Commuters heading into Penn Station in Manhattan on Tuesday faced a tough commute for hours.

NJ TRANSIT announced service into and out of Penn Station New York resumed with delays Tuesday afternoon after it was earlier suspended due to "a minor slow speed derailment." The Northeast Corridor 3926 derailed just before 9 a.m., though the train remained upright. No injuries were reported among the approximately 1,500 customers customers and crew on board at the time.

Going into the evening rush hour, the transit agency said rail service was subject to delays of up to an hour due to the derailment.

Midtown Direct service was being diverted to Hoboken, according to NJ TRANSIT's website.

Rail tickets and passes for NJ TRANSIT were cross honored by PATH at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken, and 33rd Street in Manhattan, as well as by NJ TRANSIT bus and private carriers, the railroad said.

Amtrak is also warning northeast customers of delays between Newark and New York Penn Station.
