Posted by UTC Bus Roster on Wed Aug 3 10:45:10 2011, in response to Re: Derailment this morning, posted by Railman718 on Wed Aug 3 10:06:07 2011. The #6 train derailed north of the 116 St. station. Cars 7627 & 7628 derailed. A #4 train, which was behind the derailed train, was also evacuated. There is no way for a train to be alongside either train at that point. Preliminary report was that the rails had spread, causing the derailment. Track work had been recently done on that track.At present time, the cars affected have not been rerailed yet. This will probably be an all day event. |
