On Thursday afternoon, two subway trains collided near the 96th Street station on Manhattan's Upper West Side, causing a portion of one train to derail. The collision involved an MTA work train and a passenger train, according to sources @andrewsiff4ny and @jonathan4ny. Emergency services, including police, fire, and EMTs, responded to the scene. The derailment led to major service disruptions on the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, with no service in most of Manhattan, as reported by the MTA and @TheInsiderPaper. At least 24 people were reported injured, with the FDNY EMS Chief confirming the number of injuries. MTA crews worked to repair the tracks in time for the Friday morning commute, with a partial restoration of service expected on Friday afternoon. Full service on the 1, 2, and 3 lines was eventually restored. A second derailment occurred less than a week later in Brooklyn on the F line at the West 8th Street station in Coney Island, where a wheel came off the tracks. FDNY reported that one wheel of one subway car derailed, but all 37 people on the train made it out safely.
