 One car is mangled, three rail cars are overturned and three others are a twisted mess following an Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia that killed at least five people. 
 
 All seven cars of Northeast Regional Train 188 ended in disarray Tuesday night, sending 144 people to hospitals. At least six are in critical condition. 
 
 The National Transportation Safety Board expects to have full crews at the scene Wednesday morning to try to determine what happened. 
 
 The train was carrying 238 passengers and five crew members as it headed from Washington to New York City along the nation's busiest rail corridor. 
 
 Amtrak has had to modify Northeast Corridor service. Trains will run between Washington and Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Philadelphia, and New York and Boston. There will be no Amtrak service between New York and Philadelphia. New Jersey Transit will honor Amtrak tickets between New York City and Trenton.

 National Transportation Safety Board investigators are headed to the scene of an Amtrak accident in Philadelphia that killed at least five people and injured dozens of others. 
 
 Northeast Regional Train 188 was headed to New York from Washington when it derailed in the city's Port Richmond section shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday. 
 
 More than 140 people went to hospitals to be evaluated or treated, and six were critically injured. 
 
 The derailment has closed a major section of the nation's busiest rail corridor. It is having an impact on commuter rails. 
 
 Mayor Michael Nutter called the scene "an absolute disastrous mess." 
 
 The mayor says all seven train cars, including the engine, were in "various stages of disarray." 
 
 He said there were cars that were "completely overturned, on their side, ripped apart." ||||| PHILADELPHIA — An engineer jammed on the emergency brakes just seconds before Tuesday’s fatal Amtrak derailment, but the train — traveling at 106 miles an hour, more than twice the speed limit — slowed only slightly, federal authorities said, before hurtling off its tracks, killing at least seven people and injuring more than 200. 
 
 Survivors who emerged battered and bloodied described a chaotic scene, with passengers thrown against walls, furniture and one another, and luggage and other items and falling on terrified riders. By Wednesday night, as cars were being removed, some passengers still had not been accounted for. 
 
 Investigators say that it is too early to know whether speed alone caused the wreck and that they will examine other factors, such as track conditions, throttle and brake settings and alarms in the engineer’s cab. They were also studying video from a camera mounted on the locomotive, and they plan to interview the engineer, who spoke to the police but may have given only limited information, Mayor Michael A. Nutter said. 
 
 “As we know, it takes a long time to decelerate a train,” said Robert Sumwalt, the National Transportation Safety Board official who is leading the investigation, in a news conference. He added, “You’re supposed to enter the curve at 50 miles per hour. He was already in the curve.” ||||| The deadly train crash made headlines around the country, including the front page of The New York Times. 
 
 Barreling toward New York, the high-speed electric train click-clicked through Port Richmond, bobbing and weaving at 65 mph, as it powered toward Frankford Junction. And then it derailed. The date: Sept. 6, 1943. Labor Day. Seventy-two years before Tuesday night, when Amtrak Train 188 slid off its tracks, leaving at least five people dead and dozens more injured, a similar train in a similar spot met a deadlier fate: 79 people killed and 116 wounded in one of the worst rail disasters in U.S. History. 
 
 The Pennsylvania Railroad train, the Congressional Limited, excited travelers with its advertised unprecedented speed of 65 mph. In Washington, D.C, where it originated (same as Train 188), riders were so eager to take a spin that an extra car was added to accommodate the crowd. 
 
 An older, dining car. 
 
 Investigators later would say the older car's axle couldn't handle the speed and snapped just as it approached Frankford Junction. 
 
 As of Wednesday morning, officials aren't certain how Amtrak Train 188 derailed. 
 
 The Amtrak train was carrying 238 passengers at it approached Frankford Junction. 
 
 The Limited was carrying 541 passengers as it approached Frankford Junction. 
 
 It would take 26 hours before the rail traffic returned to normal in the fall of 1943. 
 
 And it would be 72 years before the city would collectively grieve over a deadly train crash again. ||||| At least six people are now reported dead and scores of others injured after an Amtrak passenger train derailed with 238 passengers and five crew members on board. (Reuters) 
 
 “Most derailments are relatively benign, and can be compared to a person walking down the street, tripping, getting back up, and continuing on her or his way,” University of North Dakota mechanical engineering professor George Bibel wrote in “Train Wreck: The Forensics of Rail Disasters” in 2012. “… Yet derailments have been responsible for some of the greatest train wrecks ever.” 
 
 In Philadelphia late Tuesday, it seemed Amtrak was facing one of its most serious wrecks in recent years. As a swarm of flashlights and floodlights swept the scene of an Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia late Tuesday, the spectacle was horrific. A train car rolled on to its side. Emergency responders uncovering bodies. A survivor covered in grime sipping from a bottle of water in a daze. The toll, as of Wednesday morning: six dead, more than 140 hospitalized.

 Amtrak derailments have been flat in recent years, according to the Federal Railroad Administration’s office of safety analysis. But the first two months of 2015 have seen more derailments than comparable periods in previous years. 
 
 An Amtrak train derailed in North Carolina in March. An Amtrak train derailed in Massachusetts last June. An Amtrak train derailed in South Carolina the year before that. 
 
 Amtrak derailments have increased in recent years, according to the Federal Railroad Administration’s office of safety analysis. There were two in 2012, three in 2013, six in 2014, and there have been nine this year. 
 
 Why do Amtrak trains derail with such frequency? Although the cause of Tuesday’s derailment was still undetermined, the answer has a lot to do with the United States’ crumbling transportation infrastructure, and a little to do with freak accidents. The United States’ lack of interest in funding rail transportation has been long-lamented. Amtrak, a federally subsidized for-profit corporation that doesn’t turn a profit, is a Republican punching bag — the subject of a perennial struggle for funding on Capitol Hill. 
 
 [Amtrak loses a ton of money each year. It doesn’t have to.] 
 
 “While Amtrak isn’t currently in danger of being killed, it also isn’t likely to do more than barely survive,” Simon Van Zuylen-Wood wrote in the National Journal last month. “Last month, the House of Representatives agreed to fund Amtrak for the next four years at a rate of $1.4 billion per year. Meanwhile, the Chinese government — fair comparison or not — will be spending $128 billion this year on rail.” 
 
 The result: a system that connects the nation and posted record ridership in 2013 but can’t always pull its freight. 
 
 “The problem that you have — and you’ve had it since 1976 and even before — is that there’s never been an investment program that would bring the infrastructure up where it belongs on existing capacity,” Amtrak chief executive Joseph Boardman told the Atlantic last year. “There isn’t even an understanding about the need to increase capacity in order to continue to increase the GDP in this nation. Not only on the Northeast Corridor but all over the country.” 
 
 Amtrak was faced with mechanical problems almost immediately after opening for business in May 1971. A month later, it was counting bodies. 
 
 “Amtrak train No. 1, a southbound passenger train operating on the tracks of the Illinois Central Railroad between Chicago, Illinois, and New Orleans, Louisiana, derailed near Salem, Illinois, on June 10, 1971,” the National Transportation Safety Board reported. “Two locomotive units and the first seven cars were turned over on their sides. The derailment resulted in 11 fatalities and 163 injuries.” 
 
 A mechanical failure in a wheel caused what was called “the first major accident under the Amtrak system.” Tighter safety regulations were recommended, and although all train derailments — not just Amtrak’s — have fallen since 1980, most continue to be caused by such problems. 
 
 “Derailments are usually caused by equipment failures,” Bibel wrote. “Broken, settled, spread, shifted, or overturned rails account for about 50 percent of the equipment related derailments.” 
 
 However, human and environmental factors can also contribute to train accidents. 
 
 “Poor train handling, incorrectly set track switches, unsecured cars on a hill, shifted loads, vandalism, or obstructions on the track are among the human causes of derailments,” Bibel wrote. “Derailments can also be caused by flash floods, avalanches, rock slides, and high winds.” 
 
 Perhaps the worst Amtrak derailment that resulted from human error came on Sept. 23, 1993. More than 40 people died in Alabama when a train “hurtled off a 12-foot-high trestle into a bayou and caught fire, trapping sleeping passengers in black water up to 30 feet deep,” as the New York Times put it. What’s known as Big Bayou Canot train wreck is still the deadliest crash in Amtrak’s history.

 “We were throwing sheets and blankets out of the cars that were still on the track to the people who were wet from being in the water,” a survivor told the paper. “Some people were hysterical. There were a lot of old people on the train.” 
 
 The crash occurred less than 10 minutes after a river barge hit the trestle, displacing the track. Among other causes, the NTSB blamed reduced visibility and “the pilot’s lack of radar navigation competency.” 
 
 Amtrak can’t be held responsible for acts of God, rail-jumpers or people who park houses on train tracks. But it will have to find a way out of its endless fiscal crisis if it is to survive and thrive. 
 
 “There was no question that it would probably not pay for itself,” Anthony Haswell, who lobbied for the creation of Amtrak, told the National Journal. “But the Nixon administration and other conservatives thought that once it was demonstrated that it wouldn’t pay for itself, it would be abolished.”

 EDITOR'S NOTE: For the very latest on the Amtrak train derailment, click story here: 
 
 At least six people were killed and dozens injured, eight critically, when a northbound Amtrak train derailed Tuesday night in Port Richmond. 
 
 In the moments after the derailment, scores of emergency personnel swarmed over more than a half-dozen toppled train cars, trying to reach the dazed, the injured, the dying. 
 
 Some people were reported trapped in the train, and crews cut into the cars to try to free the injured. 
 
 Ladder 10 was the first to respond to the scene. When firefighters arrived, they found two people under the train, a fire official said. 
 
 At a briefing early Wednesday morning, with Gov. Wolf at his side, Mayor Nutter reported that five people had died and that 65 people were taken to area hospitals, 54 of them to Temple University Hospital. 
 
 Herbert Cushing, chief medical officer at Temple, reported later that a sixth person, who had suffered a massive chest injury, had died. Eight other patients were in critical condition. 
 
 Train 188, bound to New York from Washington with 238 passengers and five crew members aboard, had left 30th Street Station minutes before the accident, which occurred near a curve at Wheatsheaf Lane and I-95. 
 
 Nutter told reporters the first fire call came in at 9:28 p.m. and quickly grew to four alarms. In all, he said, 33 pieces of equipment were sent in to help, along with 122 Fire Department personnel and Emergency Medical Services workers. Also responding were about 200 police officers, and officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Pennsylvania State Police, SEPTA, and Amtrak. 
 
 Because the train had already passed Philadelphia en route to New York, he said, it was likely that most passengers were either from Washington, New Jersey, or New York. 
 
 One of the passengers was 18-year-old Gaby Rudy, a student at George Washington University who had been sleeping in the last car when she felt it verge off the tracks and then flip over. 
 
 The car immediately began to fill with smoke, she said. She called 911. And then she saw another young woman on the floor. Her back was injured. Rudy said she helped her out of the train. 
 
 Rescuers told them they had to run across another set of tracks in case another train approached. 
 
 They walked into some woods while helicopters circled above. 
 
 Rudy, who had been on her way home to Livingston, N.J., called her dad. He was at Temple Hospital 90 minutes later to pick her up. 
 
 "She was very panicked and screaming," Daniel Rudy said. "It was the most traumatic thing imaginable." 
 
 Mayor Nutter said the rescue effort would continue throughout the morning. 
 
 "We will continue for some time out here with any continued search," he said. "Obviously, at 1 o'clock in the morning, in darkness, that is a more difficult obligation." 
 
 Efforts to comb through the wreckage using cranes and other heavy equipment would wait until daylight, he said. 
 
 By 2 a.m., the heavy equipment needed for that task had started to arrive. 
 
 A team of investigators was expected to arrive later Wednesday, Nutter said. He promised another update at 11 a.m. 
 
 Said Wolf: "Anything the state can do to help, we stand ready to do that. ... You can count on the commonwealth." 
 
 At an earlier news conference, Nutter described the scene as "an absolute, disastrous mess." 
 
 "We do not know what happened here," said Nutter, who arrived at the scene about 10:30. "We are not going to speculate about it." 
 
 "It is a devastating scene down there," Nutter said. "The engine completely separated from the rest of the train. ... It is incredible." 
 
 Initial reports indicated the train derailed as it entered the curve. An engine and all seven cars derailed, a U.S. Department of Transportation spokesman said early Wednesday. 
 
 "Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and injured in this accident. We are assembling on site and will begin a thorough investigation into the cause of this accident," said acting Federal Railroad Administrator Sarah Feinberg. 
 
 The Federal Railroad Administration said it was sending at least eight investigators to the scene. The Transportation Department said it had officials at the site who would work with the National Transportation Safety Board. 
 
 SEPTA buses arrived at the accident scene to transport passengers who were not seriously injured. 
 
 At Aria Health-Frankford Campus, below the tracks of the Frankford El, Ede Sinkovics, 44, emerged early Wednesday morning shaking for a cigarette break before returning to hospital care. 
 
 Sinkovics, an artist in residence in Trenton, originally from Hungary, was hit in the chest and leg when the train's chairs dislodged from the force of impact. 
 
 "I was looking at my computer when I felt the car start to shake and the lights flipped, flashed," he said. 
 
 He held onto his seat to avoid being thrown about the cabin. 
 
 "Other people, they had broken mouth, there was loud screaming," he said. 
 
 Asked how he would get home, as a train passed overhead, Sinkovics said, "Not the train, no more trains." 
 
 Nearby Frankford Avenue was blocked with police tape and walls of police cruisers, SUVs, vans, and fire trucks. As police lights flashed and helicopters whirred, residents gathered on street corners to try to see anything they could. 
 
 Jeremy McTiernan, 36, has lived on the 3800 block of Frankford Avenue for about two months. He was outside his home with his roommate, smoking a cigarette, when he saw a blue flash _ and, moments later, another, much larger flash. 
 
 "I stood up," he said, thinking: "Man, that's something serious." 
 
 Still, he said, he heard nothing - no crash, no bang, no rumble. It wasn't until about three minutes later that the magnitude began to set in. 
 
 Dozens of emergency vehicles with flashing lights roared down his street - police cruisers, fire trucks, bike cops. He said within 15 minutes of the flash, there were 100 responders around his block, and dozens of vehicles. 
 
 Then he saw the passengers: people walking freely, toting luggage, seeming to laugh. 
 
 "Like they're getting off at a stop," McTiernan said. 
 
 A few minutes later, people came limping. Covered in soot and dirt. And after that, first responders helped walk out other passengers _ those who were bloody or couldn't walk on their own. 
 
 Eventually, more than a dozen people were on stretchers and flat boards in the street in front of his house, surrounded by emergency responders. McTiernan offered water, washcloths, and his bathroom to anyone who needed them. 
 
 A Marine who had served in Iraq, McTiernan had seen trauma before. Still, this scene was surreal. 
 
 "Pretty wild for a Tuesday night," he said. 
 
 Mary Barcellos of New York walked away from the train with her right shoe missing, leaving her foot bare. Other passengers around her limped and had grease-covered faces as police motioned them toward buses for the hospital. One man covered his bloodied face with a white cloth. 
 
 "It just tilted like you were going around a sharp curve, and then it just flipped all the way over," Barcellos said of the train. 
 
 She said the train landed upside down and jolted her to a window. She was lying on the window after the crash. The woman next to her had a broken leg, she said. 
 
 "I'm very lucky," Barcellos said, her glasses still intact. 
 
 Temple University Hospital remained on standby at 12:45 a.m. Wednesday, with doctors and nurses waiting outside the emergency room. Patients continued to arrive as late as 12:30 a.m., while people looking for loved ones were ushered into a waiting room. 
 
 Thomas Schultz, 31, who lives on Frankford Avenue in Port Richmond, and his fiancee were in line at the Walmart store at 2200 Wheatsheaf Lane when he thought he heard thunder. 
 
 "Everybody in the Walmart looked up," he said, adding that no one was alarmed. 
 
 Then, on the drive home, he saw about 20 police vehicles speeding toward the tracks. 
 
 He figured something was up. When he got home, he turned on the news and saw the disaster. 
 
 The area where the derailment occurred is normally under a speed restriction, requiring trains to slow down as they approach. The speed of Train 188 at the time of the accident was not immediately available. 
 
 The accident's effects on commuters were expected to stretch well into Wednesday. Amtrak's Northeast Corridor service was canceled Tuesday night, and SEPTA's Trenton and Chestnut Hill West lines were also scrapped, with Trenton service unlikely to resume Wednesday, the agency said. 
 
 Nutter said it was unlikely that service along the rail line would resume this week. 
 
 Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy said he was sitting on a bench in the cafe car when the train began to topple. 
 
 "It went to my right, then to my left. Everyone who was on the left side of the car, where I was sitting, just got thrown completely over to the right side." 
 
 Murphy tweeted a photo from inside a wrecked train car. He said he was uninjured and trying to assist other passengers. 
 
 Murphy, an Iraq war veteran from Bucks County, said he helped around half of the people on the two cafe cars get out, then stayed with 11 others who couldn't. 
 
 "A lot of people panicked," he said. "Some seemed pretty bad. One guy couldn't move his leg at all." Another was unconscious. 
 
 U.S. Sen. Tom Carper (D., Del.) had been sitting just across from Murphy for most of the ride before getting off in Wilmington, Murphy said. 
 
 "I would have literally landed right on top of him, head first," Murphy said. 
 
 "I am grateful to be home safe and sound in Wilmington, and my heart goes out to all those on the train tonight," Carper said in a statement. "I hope all of those that are injured recover quickly, and I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers." 
 
 Jeremy Wladis was on the last car of the train when he felt the jolt. The 51-year-old New York man, who had been in Washington for work Tuesday, said he saw "phones, laptops, everything flying." 
 
 "There were women launched up in the luggage rack," he said about 11:45 p.m. at Webster School, where he and about two dozen others were being interviewed by the police and trying to find ways home. "I don't even know how they got there." 
 
 He said he and others helped the women down after the train came to a rest. 
 
 Daniel Wetrin, 37 of New York, said the initial shock was gentle, "compared to what came next." 
 
 "Within two seconds, it was chaos," he said. 
 
 The Rev. Tom Higgins, pastor at nearby Holy Innocents Church, was watching a hockey game when he heard the crash and walked to the scene to take a look. He spoke with police and then decided to go to Webster. 
 
 "I don't really know what I can do, but you want to try and comfort people if you can," he said. "Just sit with them and give them comfort." 
 
 Individuals with questions about friends and family who may have been on the train should call the Amtrak Incident Hotline 800-523-9101. Amtrak also has established a Family Assistance Center to work closely with family and friends of individuals on the train.

– An Amtrak train headed to New York City derailed and tipped over in Philadelphia last night, killing at least six people and injuring scores more, at least five of them critically. The cause remains unclear. "It is an absolute disastrous mess," said Mayor Michael Nutter. The train had seven cars, including the engine, and six of them overturned, reports the New York Times. More than 140 people went to hospitals to be evaluated or treated, and it remained unclear this morning whether any passengers were still trapped. Train 188, a Northeast Regional whose route originated in Washington, DC, was carrying 238 passengers and five crew. It had left Philadelphia's 30th Street Station minutes before the accident, which occurred about 9:30pm near a curve in the tracks, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. No word yet on how fast it was going. Disaster also struck here 72 years ago: The derailment took place near the same spot as one in 1943 that killed 79 people, one of the deadliest accidents in US rail history, notes the Inquirer. Passengers: "I was looking at my computer when I felt the car start to shake and the lights flipped, flashed," recalls one, who was injured by dislodged chairs in the crash. Another adds, "They told us we had to run away from the train in case another train came." Why Amtrak trains derail: Generally speaking, it's about "crumbling infrastructure," reports the Washington Post. Northeast Corridor: It's a mess today. No Amtrak trains will run between New York and Philadelphia, reports the AP. Images: NBC Philadelphia has a collection of photos here.
