NEW YORK — Missing bolts on a subway car and a track misalignment led to the derailment of a New York City Transit subway train at Coney Island on Jan. 10, the New York Daily News reports in a paywalled article.
Four bolts were missing from the car’s radius arm, part of the suspension system, when it derailed on an F line train on elevated track near the West 8th Street-New York Aquarium station [see “New York subway system hit by second derailment in a week,” Trains News Wire, Jan. 10, 2024]. At the same time, New York City Transit President Richard Davey said, there was a “track con-conformity” in the area.
No one was injured in the incident. Some 137 passengers were evacuated by two rescue trains from the elevated track structure
