Phil D. Posted January 16, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2008 I heard it over B1. I went over there and got 2 pics. It was impossible to shoot the work train because it was pitch black and I had nothing to lean on. The train was operating on the middle track and some how the gear box cover fell off and derailed the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Toasty Posted January 16, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2008 Wow. That must have been awkward, though better than a passenger train derailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTOMan Posted January 16, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2008 I heard the drama over the radio as well and it was a LOT of it. Some of that stuff fell to the street as well, i think some people may have gotten injured. That really jacked up the entire Line to no end.. It tore up some of the track as well its so bad they have an emergency G.O on the Line right now no Service Between Bay Parkway and 62nd streets in Both Directions, they are running a shuttle train from Stillwell to Bay parkway, buese are being used for the affected stations. It wasnt a good day in the B Div yesterday not at all.. Today looks no better, and (G)Lines is jacked up, and Lines are jacked up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted January 16, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2008 Wow, that sucks and it must be a pain in the a$$ to clean up. I hope the people on the street that were hurt were not hurt too bad. B division has had a rough month so far, alot of 12-9s and major line dissruptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Local Posted January 16, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 16, 2008 Wow. This looked like it was pretty bad. Any (M)'s or (D)'s sent down Brighton, Sea Beach, 4 Av to 95 St? Or perhaps the Culver for the ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps the Culver for the ? They just had (D)elta's and (M)ikeys operate with restricted speed and exterme caution through the area beacuse it was already dark and track dept couldnt go out there and really "see" the damage... Then they used the emergency G.O today to fix whatever damage there was.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdotny Posted January 17, 2008 Share #14 Posted January 17, 2008 Yes, there was an increase in service. There ran a few R40s and more R68s, which is a rarity nowadays. I was at 8th Ave and trains kept going in and out every 5 or so minutes for a time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTOMan Posted January 17, 2008 Share #15 Posted January 17, 2008 As of 0736 hrs today that derailed Work Train is Still there... So look for that "Emergency G.O" again today on the (D)elta Line.. As well as a increase in (N)ovember service as another poster said.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted January 18, 2008 Share #16 Posted January 18, 2008 All (D)'s are being short turned due to possible track damage but what made me laugh, it's the train that takes out derailed train and it itself derails. Honestly, it's too weird. Another thing, it's the second derailment within months of the train's mishap. I'm not a train genius but doesn't that mean the NYC Subway might go a full system inspection by the board of transportation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted January 18, 2008 Share #17 Posted January 18, 2008 Yeah seen the train Yesterday they had a crane out there and all the white hats. I tought I wasn't going down the road because the G.O went past 3PM. I heard Track wanted to keep working but the RTO Supts from the lines yelled at them to rap it up and be off the tracks so normal PM Rush Hour service be restored. I pointed out the derailed train to my student and told him thats what happens when you operate too fast. The look on his face was priceless. The whole thing almost made me late but lucky I was very early since I planned to have a nice lunch before I started my day. I was lucky that the arrived fast to get me towards Stillwell.
