EL TRAIN GOES OFF TRACK...

On September 22, at around 21:30, a westbound El train derailed at the 15 St Station. The #3 car of the train (1176) reportedly jumped the tracks at the 15 St crossover west of the station. Four people were injured, and service was restored the following morning. The cause of the incident is unclear, but there remains a slow-order leaving 15 St station. According to one poster at the railroad.net forum, the 1176 car had some wheelwork done earlier in the day. Funny how the rest of the media missed that one...
