#BREAKING – Amtrak hotline for information about passengers on train #188 – 800-523-9101 – Please share and forward this information.

11:32 p.m.: Man, many of these injuries being shown on news look a lot worse than general scrapes and bruises. Lots of blood. Stating the obvious, but one bad injury after another.
Amtrak says about 238 passengers and 5 crew members on train that derailed. Also says service between Philly and NYC canceled for tonight

11:18 p.m.: Local media is nearly hysterical right now. 6 ABC speculating about explosion, however cautiously, when, by all accounts, it seems like a derailment. People saying cars near back were fine– one of the reasons I always try to get on back half of train. Just seems like it’s safest spot if hit something or derailment.
I can’t imagine there weren’t major, major injuries or worse here:
