    It's almost hard to imagine that this system was running 100 years ago. Like, they barely had cars and radio was still sort of new back then. Crazy.

    2. A 6 train derailment at Hunts Point in 1996.

    According to something I read in a book, the train ahead of the train involved in the derailment was being turned back north due to a delay in Bronx Park (180th Street) bound service. The switch wasn't spiked since the train behind the involved train was also going to be turned back north. Many years later, a similar incident happened at Nostrand Junction aka Rogers Junction where a Flatbush bound train derailed when the switch moved under the 9th car of a Flatbush Avenue bound train. Switch trouble was the cause there.

      Wooden cars had already been outlawed from use in the subway by federal law long before this accident happened and even before that were removed from New York subway tunnels by order of the state PSC. The train involved in the accident was made up of steel cars.

      @@GoldenOne131 If I remember correctly, wooden cars were taken off the subway because of the fear or fires in the tunnel. The wood cars were originally ordered because no rail car builder wanted to experiment with building an all-steel car. I believe the PRR was engaged to design a steel car that would meet the weight needs of the subway.

    I OPERATED A LIGHT 5 CAR TRAIN WHICH DERAILED AS I CROSSED THE DOWNTOWN EXPRESS TO LOCAL SWITCH SOUTH OF
    TIMES SQUARE SOMETIME DURING THE 1980s. I WAS A MOTOR INSTRUCTOR ORDERED TO SUPERVISE THE MOVE. SINCE IT INVOLVED A NEW DEVICE
    CALLED "CAWLEY WHEELS", I WOULD NOT ALLOW THE MOTORMAN TO OPERATE THE TRAIN.
    AS I MOVED THE TRAIN
    (LESS THEN 5 MILES PER
    HOUR) OVER THE SWITCH, THE CAWLEY
    WHEELES UNDER ME
    DERAILED. NO ONE INJURED. ENTIRE WEST SIDE SHUT DOWN FOR MAYBE
