"It is a devastating scene down there," Nutter said during a late night news conference. "We walked the entire length of the train area. The engine completely separated from the rest of the train and one of the cars is perpendicular to the rest of the cars. It's unbelievable."
Police in Philadelphia issued a statement asking members of the public not to go anywhere near the scene of the derailment to allow first responders to do their jobs.
One person, a woman, was being transported to Temple University Hospital, and three other people were being taken to Jefferson University Hospital, according to 6ABC.
EMS reported that Temple advised it could take no more patients late Tuesday.
Others were being taken to Frankford Hospital-Torresdale Division, according to Philadelphia police.
Representatives at Amtrak's media relations line for emergencies could not immediately be reached late Tuesday.
