Subway derailment caused by rail line left on tracks: MTA

 

The A Train derailment in Harlem on Tuesday was caused by an unsecured piece of rail line that was left on the tracks.

 

The MTA said Tuesday night that the cause appeared to be human error and not a defect as was originally believed.

Letter to Daily News, New York, NY, 6/27/17, from a subway motorman:

 


 

MTA boss Joe Lhota headed down wrong track about cause of A train derailment

 

MTA Chairman Joe Lhota said that maybe it wasn’t the track, maybe it wasn’t the equipment — maybe it was caused by the emergency brakes activating.

 

I’m a subway train operator in the B division, which is all the letter trains. I’ve worked every letter train, except the L.

NEW YORK -- New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority says two supervisors have been suspended while officials investigate a Harlem derailment that injured more than 30 people.  

 

MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz says the supervisors were responsible for oversight of work where the derailment occurred Tuesday. They're suspended without pay during the formal review process.

New York Daily News, 7/16/18:

EXCLUSIVE: Harlem subway derailment cost MTA $3.4M in new train cars, track work: report

 

 

A subway rail improperly attached to the roadbed led to 39 straphangers getting hurt, two subway cars wrecked — and the MTA on the hook for $3.4 million.

 

That's the conclusion of an MTA probe into the June 27, 2017, derailment of an A train in Harlem.

 

Most of the expense of the crash — $3.1 million — was what it cost to replace the two cars that had to be scrapped.
