SOUTH NORWALK, Conn. (AP) Metro-North Railroad says a woman was apparently struck by a New York-to-Connecticut train and her body was found on the rail line's right-of-way in South Norwalk.

Sal Arena, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said Monday morning that an engineer on the train headed to New Haven from Grand Central Terminal reported that it struck debris at about 12:35 a.m. Workers inspected the tracks and did not find anything.

The woman's body was found during another check by track workers about an hour later.

Arena said she appears to have been in her late 20s or early 30s. She was not identified.

The morning commute into and out of New York City was not affected.
