Rail That Failed At Subway Derailment Site Was Installed Elsewhere
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Metropolitan Transportation Authority investigators have been zeroing in on a recently-installed rail as the cause of a derailment on the F Train last week, and have been trying to determine whether other rails have the same defects.
Normal services resumed Monday morning on the E, F, M, and R Train lines along Queens Boulevard, The MTA said all of the subway cars that derailed in a Queens tunnel on Friday were removed from the tracks over the weekend.
A rail snapped and caused six cars of the train to leave the tracks in the Friday morning accident.
Meanwhile, as CBS 2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer reported exclusively, sources told CBS 2 some of the rail involved in the derailment was also installed elsewhere. Experts have been trying to determine where that was, and if the same defects exist.
