An Amtrak passenger train has derailed in Northfield, Vermont, the company said on its Twitter account.
Ninety-eight people were aboard, said Hjonis Hanson, a spokesman for Central Vermont Medical Center.
At least two cars went off the track and over an embankment, and at least four people were injured, said Dana Huoppi, a spokeswoman with the Montpelier Fire Department.
The accident comes after an Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia in May that left eight dead and more than 200 injured.
