It looks like it has undermined part of the s/b local track. It might also have undermined part of the express track but that's conjecture because of the photo angle.I don't see any such gully at the same spot on Google Maps https://maps.google.com/?ll=40.880847,-73.923101&spn=0.000392,0.000603&t=h&z=21 |

If so,from 75 right to 30 is a design flaw in the system.LIRR Far Rockaway trains get taken down in at least 2 stages from City Line to the 15MPH curve at Valley, or MP54's and M-1's would have been all over Sunrise Hwy at some point. Crawling along at 30MPH past Green Acres for a mile is a drag, but necessary. |

While the train may have exceeded the MAS thru the area, it doesn't mean the train was speeding. It may have been brake failure which prevented the engineer from slowing down in time. Just north of this area thru Riverdale the MAS is 70 MPH and I've ridden the line enough to know that experienced engineers go as fast as allowed up to the very point they have to slow down.My gut sez that the brakes failed and the train was still going too fast to navigate the SD curve. |

A Metro-North train derailed in New York City Sunday morning, killing four people on board and scattering rail cars near the water's edge, authorities said.The southbound diesel train on the Hudson line derailed about 100 yards from the Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx at about 7:30 a.m., a railroad spokeswoman said. Officials said there were 63 others injured, with 11 in critical condition. Three of the dead were ejected from the train, a Metro-North spokeswoman said. "It's obviously a very tragic situation," said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who arrived at the scene. "What we do know is four people lost their lives today in the holiday season, right after Thanksgiving." Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board arrived Sunday. Earl Weener, an NTSB board member, said officials expect to learn the speed at which the train was travelling from its event recorder, similar to an airplane's black box. The train left Poughkeepsie at 5:54 a.m. and derailed at 7:22 a.m., said Metropolitan Transportation Authority chairman Tom Prendergast. The speed limit is 30 miles per hour in the area of the derailment, a sharp curve where the Hudson Line tracks turn east from the banks of the Hudson River to follow the course of the Harlem River, north of Manhattan. It isn't clear how fast the train was traveling when it derailed, Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said. There were no slow-speed restrictions in place on the area of track where the derailment occurred, Ms. Anders said. The train ordinarily carries about 100 passengers, but holiday traffic could have boosted the total to about 150 riders, Ms. Anders said. A law enforcement official identified the fatally injured passengers as James Lovell, 58, of Cold Spring, N.Y.; James Ferrari, 59, of Montrose, N.Y.; Donna Smith, 54, of Newburgh, N.Y., and a 35-year-old Queens woman whose family had not been notified. Mr. Prendergast said the train's operator was among the injured. A law enforcement official identified the operator as William Rockefeller. There were three conductors on the train. A union official who represents Metro-North workers called the derailment "the worst thing I've seen in 38 years" working on the railroad. The operator was a roughly 20-year veteran of the railroad, Metro-North said. "The whole railroad's praying right now," said James Fahey, the director of the executive board of Association of Commuter Rail Employees. "Everybody's upset about the deaths." Spuyten Duyvil is the inlet where the Harlem River meets the Hudson River, just north of Manhattan. None of the cars reached the water, Ms. Anders said. NYPD divers were searching the water and had not found any victims, said Office of Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Bruno in a televised interview. The crash is the second major derailment in one year for Metro-North, which calls itself the busiest commuter rail line in the country, and one that has previously had a good record for safety. Among the injured was an NYPD officer, who suffered a broken collar bone and fractured ribs, according to a spokesman for St. Barnabas Hospital. A 14-year-old boy was also treated and released from the hospital. Dr. Ernest Patti, senior attending physician of emergency medicine at St. Barnabas, said some passengers were in shock and traumatized by the experience. "You watch these crazy horror movies or disaster movies and you say 'oh that's only in the movies,'" he said. "But when you're actually in a vehicle like that that's going 50, 60 mph, whatever it is, and comes off the track and starts going through the woods or the marsh, that has to be a traumatic experience." Ryan Kelly, 26, of Yorktown Heights, was on his morning commute to the city from Croton Harmon when he awoke to the disaster. "We came around the bend; I was sleeping with head phones on. I heard screeching, I felt the tilt, and I woke up. I smashed into the overhead [storage area], then blocked my face with this hand," Mr.Kelly said, displaying a heavily gauze-wrapped left hand. "There was a lot of screaming, and a lot of bodies flying around." Dazed, Mr. Kelly emerged from the train and was shocked at the wreckage around him. "All the cars were smoking, people were knocking out windows, crawling out... they say my hand is shattered above the wrist, and that my bicep is torn at the shoulder." A graphic designer for Century 21 Department Stores in Tribeca, Mr. Kelly hopes to return to work Monday, although he acknowledges it will be difficult since his job requires two hands. "I had been listening to Christmas music on my headphones," he said. "It's like something out of a movie." Eddie Hoti's second-floor apartment balcony at 2400 Johnson Ave. overlooks the tracks. "I saw dust. I heard a lot of squeaking," said Mr. Hoti, 44, who is the superintendent at his building. "I don't know if it's a speed issue, but I hear these trains squeaking on a daily basis "The response was unbelievably quick. They were here within minutes. We saw two scuba divers, they spent 20 or 30 minutes, making sure no one got thrown into the water from the first car." FDNY Chief of Department Edward Kilduff said some people were pinned by broken seats and other objects, and rescuers used airbags under the train to remove some of the critically injured. A few cars remain very unstable, and fire officials are working to stabilize them by using jacks and airbags underneath. The injured were taken to several city hospitals. In May, one train on the railroad's New Haven line derailed near Bridgeport, Conn., and was immediately sideswiped by another train headed in the opposite direction. That accident caused dozens of injuries, several of them severe, and interrupted service on the busy Northeast Corridor for days. In hearings before the National Transportation Safety Board in November, railroad officials acknowledged deficiencies in track maintenance in the area of the Bridgeport derailment. Metro-North has redoubled track improvement work and inspections since the accident, the railroad's president, Howard Permut, said to the NTSB. The railroad didn't immediately give a cause for Sunday's crash. A freight train carrying trash derailed on the Hudson Line in July, also near Spuyten Duyvil, hampering service for days until the derailed cars could be removed. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303670804579231830633455674 |

Posted by italianstallion on Sun Dec 1 19:13:07 2013, in response to Breaking News MNRR Derailment, posted by Bill From Maspeth on Sun Dec 1 07:55:15 2013. Following this morning’s derailment of a Hudson Line train in the Bronx, MTA Metro-North Railroad will continue to provide bus service from the Tarrytown Station to the White Plains Station on the Harlem Line until 2 a.m. Monday.Beginning at 5 a.m. Monday, MTA Bus will provide a bus shuttle between the Yonkers Station and the 242nd Street terminus of the Broadway 1 Subway Line Icon local subway, until further notice. New York City Subways will operate two additional 1 Subway Line Icon local trains per hour during the peak periods. Hudson Line will continue to be cross-honored on the subway. Many of the 26,000 people who use the Hudson Line on an average weekday are encouraged to ride the Harlem Line as an alternative. People who do not have to travel are urged to telecommute. People should expect crowded trains. In cooperation with Westchester and Putnam counties and local municipalities, special parking is being arranged to accommodate additional drivers at the Southeast Station at the northern terminus of the Harlem line and at Kensico Dam, which is in walking distance to the Valhalla station. Riders should consult mta.info for additional information on the continuing repair effort and service restoration. Metro-North Customer Service representatives will be on hand to assist customers in making the transfers. Cranes and other special heavy equipment are being positioned to remove the rail cars from the area so that repairs can begin. The equipment will arrive this evening begin work following clearance from the NTSB and work will continue through the night. The accident occurred just before 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, a southbound, Hudson Line train with about 120 passengers on board derailed just north of the Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx. All cars derailed. The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team of investigators who arrived on Sunday and immediately began documenting the scene. Metro-North is cooperating fully with that investigation. With NTSB approval, Metro-North workers will begin clearing the cars, using cranes and heavy equipment. |
