There are 15 to 20 minute delays on trains through Mineola in both directions due to a track car derailed in a siding west of Mineola, and blocking one of two of the Main Line tracks.

Tracks have been cleared west of Mineola and service is running on both tracks with residual delays of 10 to 20 minutes. Earlier, customers experienced 20 minute delays due to a derailed track maintenance car in a rail siding that was blocking one of the two Main Line tracks.
