WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Three cars of an Amtrak train carrying more than 300 people from Miami to New York were derailed in snowy Savannah in the southeastern U.S. state of Georgia, authorities said early Thursday. No injuries were reported.

Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams said two sleeper cars and a baggage car derailed at about 10 p.m. local time (0300 GMT Friday), hours after a biting winter storm hit the country's eastern seaboard.

He said there were 311 passengers on board, in addition to crew, but he had no reports of anyone hurt, The Associated Press (AP) reported, citing an email statement it received from Abrams.

The train will continue its journey and some of the passengers in the sleeping cars that derailed will be transferred to another train, according to Abrams' statement.

The U.S. National Weather Service said Savannah, a city that normally has mild weather, on Wednesday recorded its first measurable snowfall since February 2010, measuring 3 cm.

The Amtrak rail transit system has experienced frequent accidents in recent years. A similar derailment of an Amtrak train in Washington State on Dec. 18 killed three people and injured more than 100 others.
