The accident took place in the town of Rafz, some 30 kilometres north of Zurich.
Rescue services rushed to the scene to evacuate passengers and crew and stabilise the derailed carriages.
According to one of the passengers, the suburban train he was travelling on came to an abrupt stop shortly after leaving Rafz. A rush-hour Intercity train running on the same line is then said to have crashed into the back, causing several carriages to derail, but not overturn.
There are no current reports of casualties.
Commuter routes between the towns of Bulach and Schaffhouse have been suspended.
