Did someone put a curse on the subway? 

I'm sure NTSB won't be happy for getting called back a second time in less then a week.

NTSB might as well move into 2 broadway, didn't they say they came for the (1) derailment because of safety issues like the track worker dying etc?

From what I heard on this forum and the NYCRail Reddit forum, the NTSB came because there have been many accidents within the MTA system.  The NTSB wants to investigate what the root cause is of all these accidents.

From the looks of it, thankfully people seem to be alright. Definitely bad optics though with the last derailment occuring less than a week ago. 
 

I'm assuming last nights downpour had something to do with this?

Even if it were the rain, wouldn’t there be some sort of safety measures during extreme weather conditions??

Let's wait and see what transit determines to be the cause.

It could be a multitude of factors

1. operator error (speeding)

2. Faulty track placement (probably from a weekend GO)

3. weather related slip-slide or other track condition

4. Improper maintenance of the train

5. maybe vandals had messed with this train earlier and then was “cleared” to continue service even though it should have gone to the yard

6. faulty signal caused it to activate the brakes on a car

7. maybe the train was scheduled to head to the yard after that last trip it was running anyways and just didn’t make it.

Service to Coney Island has been restored with trains using the SB track in both directions.

That can’t be great for rush hours… I’m assuming they have to turn some at Avenue X too to avoid congestion.

Supposing this were the case… if this doesn’t bring down the ban hammer of justice on the miscreants, nothing will…

They cited the trackworker dying as one
