Forest Glen 4 Posted June 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2009 Union Square occurred because the T/O was drunk. Williamsburg occurred because the guy pulled a double shift, fell asleep, and went past a red signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan 256 Posted June 3, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 3, 2009 I believe that's the damage from the Williamsburg Bridge accident they were talking about above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty 4 Posted June 3, 2009 Share #9 Posted June 3, 2009 To answer that question: -Southbound express track, near the double crossover before entering Union Square -4 train -Summer 1991, I believe There was a GO that evening, all southbound express trains had to run local between 14th and Brooklyn Bridge. The T/O was apparently unaware and went through the tight switch at normal speed. The switch could not handle high speeds, thus the train ended up smashing the wall, causing disruptions up and down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy 2,321 Posted June 3, 2009 Share #10 Posted June 3, 2009 What happened was: -T/O showed up to work drunk. -Dispatcher gave him a train without making sure he was compatent. -T/O was speeding and also overran a couple stations. -C/R did not pull him out of service because he didn't think he could. -There was a GO sending trains local between 14th and BB -Tower operator did not make sure T/O approached the switch at a safe speed. -T/O was speeding again, still drunk -T/O took a switch meant to be taken at 10 MPH at 40 MPH, and left the rails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman 414 Posted June 3, 2009 Share #11 Posted June 3, 2009 For further reading on the Williamsburg Bridge collision read the NTSB report. http://www.ntsb.gov/publictn/1996/RAR9603.pdf For the derailment at Fort Hamilton Parkway on the West End see this report. http://www.ntsb.gov/publictn/1996/RAR9601.pdf I can't seem to find one about the Union Square crash, but it I find it I'll post it.
