A Metro-North train derailed between Manhattan and the Bronx, spilling cars spilling into the water on Sunday morning, witnesses said.

The accident happened at 7:20 a.m. about 100 feet north of the Spuyten Duyvil station, as five of seven cars derailed, according to the MTA.

The cars were being pushed by a locomotive south, headed for Grand Central Terminal.

They're saying a carriage may be submerged in water.
I hope that, and likely with with the weekend that's in it, there weren't many on board.

The real disgrace here is that this only has 6 posts whereas the horse torching had 100's of posts! It's a disgrace Joe.

Routine accident vs active conscious cruelty. One is probably more inviting of recation.

Sad story alright.
Reports say the train was travelling too fast around a bend in the track. Which sadly was the cause of the derailment in spain a few months ago.
