"Obviously, two trains should not be bumping into one another" Ya think? :) -- nm - Meg Jan 4, 15:29 1
- So many questions about how this happened. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 15:46
Hope everyone is okay. I wonder how long the line will be out of service. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 15:25 3
- They said they'll have the lines running by morning. I hope so for everyone that relies on the 1/2/3. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 15:32 2
  - That's pretty impressive if they do. I figured the tracks would likely be torn up bad and take time to replace - ty97 Jan 4, 15:40 1
    - Hopefully there isn't much track damage and I'm not seeing much in the pics. I'm very interested in hearing how this happened. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 15:44

- someone posted another thread about an 'asshat' who pulled the Emergency Brake on several cars locking them, which might be why the train was blocking -- (link*) - zeitgeist Jan 4, 16:39
