The train jumped its tracks near 11th Street and Borden Avenue.
As a result, there was limited LIRR service to Hunterspoint Avenue and no service to Long Island City.
The Amtrak train did not have any passengers aboard it.
New York City Transit was cross-honoring LIRR fares on the E train at Jamaica and 7 line at Woodside.
There was no word yet on what caused the derailment.
