According to the MTA, the New York subway train derailment in Queens halted F train service in both directions between Jamaica-179th Street and 21st Street Queensbridge. Subway service was also disrupted on some sections of the E, M and R lines.
Because emergency crews shut down electrical power after the New York subway train derailment in Queens, three nearby F and E line subway trains were halted. Accordingly, the trains were later returned to stations where passengers get down.
MTA Commissioner Thomas Prendergast said that New York City subway derailments, such as the New York subway train derailment in Queens today are relatively rare. The system meanwhile is safe. The most recent minor derailment happened in May 2013, says the MTA.
