Amtrak officials say several minors were trespassing on the tracks when D.C.-bound train from New York approached.
None of the 368 passengers or crew members on board suffered injuries, the company said. The passengers were transferred to another train to continue their journey.
Chester city police were investigating the incident Sunday and had not released the children’s identities or ages.“Anyone not authorized to be on railroad property, including using the tracks as a ‘shortcut’ or not heeding the warnings of the approaching train, is trespassing as they are on the property without a lawful reason to do so,” the statement said.
