Original story, 11:18 a.m.: Three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries when an A train derailed at the 125th Street/St. Nicholas Avenue station in Harlem Tuesday morning, officials said.

The derailment, which was caused by a power outage, the MTA said according to the New York Post, occurred just around 10:15 a.m. One commuter tweeted that the “lights went out and train halted just shy” of the station, and all A train passengers were evacuated. Other commuters reported the train crashed and that there was smoke and sparks.

The incident is affecting train service all along the A, B, C and D trains in both directions.

There is no A service between 207th Street and Jay Street-MetroTech, while C train service is suspended between Euclid Avenue and 168th Street in both directions.

B train service is also suspended in both directions from Brighton Beach to 145th Street, and there are no D trains from 42nd Street-Bryant Park to 161st Street-Yankee Stadium in both directions. However, this is a shuttle D train traveling in both directions from the Yankee Stadium stop to Inood-205th Street.

Mass delays are expected along the A, B, C, D, E and F lines as a result.

Additionally, northbound E and M trains are delayed due to a rail condition at Court Square.
