Earlier, there were delays going in and out of Penn Station due to an investigation involving two trains bumping into each other as they were departing Jamaica Station.

Passengers on both trains were evacuated. Two people suffered minor injuries.
NYC Transit is cross honoring LIRR ticket holders on the E, F, J and Z trains.
The incident is under investigation.
