6 Lexington Ave Posted November 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2011 There's a "train with mechanical problems in Astoria-Ditmars blvd". According to a tweet to nyctsubwayscoop the T/O came too fast, so the train hit the bumper. Can someone verify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted November 1, 2011 Share #14 Posted November 1, 2011 I have pics, not posting them as things are still fresh. Just kissed the block nicely, anticlimbers touching thats all. The first reports were that the lead car went through the block and was hanging off the end.... Turns out it was a big noting. I think the T/O needed some new draws after that though.

GojiMet86 Posted November 1, 2011 Share #17 Posted November 1, 2011 I took a good look at it at on my way to school. The bumper on track 2 was bent a good 3 or 4 degrees to the left (perspective from a northbound train). I thought it was something major, like the bumper had gone into the train. I asked one of the workers what happened, and he said it was a little bump, nothing major. Trains were using only track 1. But now, it's back to normal.
