According to fire officials, at least four people are dead, and as many as 40 others were injured, including 11 critically.
The train was en route to New York's Grand Central Station from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., when it derailed near the Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx.
It's unclear how many passengers were on board the train when it derailed.
Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for the MTA, said that the derailment occurred at approximately 7:20 a.m. Five of the train's seven cars derailed, he said, but none went into the water.
According to Metro North, the train left Poughkeepsie at approximately 5:54 a.m. and scheduled to arrive at Grand Central at 7:43 a.m. Service has been suspended indefinitely on the Hudson Line.
Aerial photos taken above the scene showed several train cars laying on their sides, and one near the bank of the Hudson River. According to New York's CBS affiliate, the train derailed about 100 feet north of the station.
