4 dead [9:46:27 AM] 11 critical 6 serious
Looks like a track branching off of the three track line, just North of the curve where the derailment took place. Crosses ?Harlem River?
Is this the line Amtrak uses to access Penn Station? News reports I have heard say no Amtrak service (trains) are affected by the line closure due to the derailment.
Anyone have any further information?? – Thanks!
Right…the pictures look basically west and north with the Hudson River being N-S. The MNRR train made it all around the bend in the derailing process and did not block the Amtrak West Side line thus has been able to resume service to and from NYP to Albany and the west. Traffic of course was suspended until the rescue work was done and all other clearances were obtained.
