On Channel 2, they showed one photo my guess someone shot from the Henry Hudson Parkway overhead, and the derailment happened immediately north of the Spuyten Duyvil Station, right at the old DV junction, and the head cab car almost ended up in the Harlem River!! Very dramatic photo, will try to see if I can find it online here now and post it!!! BIG MESS!!! Train ended up awful far off the tracks!! I long to hear the cause of this!!!!! |

Listening to WCBS, according to a MNRR spokesperson, 5 of the 7 cars derailed, none entered the water, there is no word on how many injuries there were or how many people were on the train. |

This might not be nearly as fun as speculating, but it might be better to wait until they do some preliminary investigation and report on it. We'll know far more about what happened (and what didn't) that way. |

Great year for LIRR, its been pretty quiet year for them where's MNR railroad has had it pretty rough this year. I remember everyone used to praise MNR whenever a LIRR FUBAR would happen. I hope everyone is OK though. |

Yeah, looks like my childhood model train when I ran it around the curve too fast. I'm not saying that's what happened. I am making a scrapbook of claims and stuff ("like there were cars in the water") etc.your pal, Fred |

Glad to hear there's an event recorder!Considering every time I've heard that alert (I always sit right behind the cab if possible), the crew reflexively slows down, I'd be surprised if it wasn't some sort of mechanical or technical issue rather than entirely human error. The speedometer could have been reporting a lower speed incorrectly. |
