The derailment occurred shortly after midnight and involved an outbound Manayunk/Norristown Line train at the 16^th Street Interlocking in North Philadelphia.

There were no injuries, and the incident is under investigation, SEPTA said.

The regional rail service changes are:

• The Manayunk/Norrristown, Fox Chase and Chestnut Hill East Lines will be suspended until further notice.
• The Lansdale/Doylestown, Warminster and West Trenton Lines will only be able to operate to-and-from Fern Rock. Customers can transfer to the B at Fern Rock for travel to-and-from Center City.
• The Airport, Media/Wawa, Wilmington/Newark, Paoli/Thorndale, Trenton and Chestnut Hill West Lines will operate to-and-from Suburban Station. Please note these lines will not service Jefferson Station, so passengers will have to use Suburban Station for access to Center City or transfer to the L at 15^th Street/City Hall.
