Transportation officials say an Amtrak train fatally struck a pedestrian on the tracks between Philadelphia and Wilmington, Del.
Amtrak spokeswoman Danelle Hunter says a southbound Acela train hit a trespasser around 12:20 p.m. Thursday in the Philadelphia suburb of Sharon Hill.
The train was traveling from Boston to Washington. Hunter says there are no reported injuries to the 162 train passengers or crew members.
She says Amtrak passengers can expect delays of up to 30 minutes in both directions.
Heather Redfern, a spokeswoman for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, says commuter rail service on the Wilmington/Newark line was restored around 2:30 p.m.
