New York's subway system suffered its worst derailment since 1991 on Friday, after a New York City 'F' line train derailed just past 65th Street Station on May 2.

Passengers said that at around 10:30 a.m., the train suddenly listed to the left, throwing people to the floor.

Officials report that six of the train's eight cars came off the rails.

Rescue efforts lasted some two hours as subway personnel guided passengers out of the tunnel and into an steep emergency exit that leads to ground level.

Some 1000 passengers had to be evacuated after the accident. 19 injuries were reported.

Transport authorities said tracks on the line were damaged, but no structural damage to the rail system was reported.

Service along the Queens Boulevard line was suspended until 7 a.m on Saturday, but authorities said to expect some delays as lines are inspected and cleared.
