2024 New York City Subway derailment
On January 4, 2024, a New York City Subway train derailed causing at least 26 people, mostly passengers, to suffer minor injuries. The incident happened when the first car of a 1 train, both consisting of R62A’s, collided with a disabled train that had been vandalized, just north of the 96th Street station. Around 300 people were evacuated off the train involved in the collision.The National Transportation Safety Board, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and other authorities are investigating the incident. They stated that the disabled train, which was heading uptown, had been taken out of service because a passenger repeatedly pulled the emergency brake, resulting in the train being stalled near West 79th Street. That train was taken out of service, and the moving train, which was trying to bypass the stalled train using the express track, hit it while switching to the local track.
