There are four tracks in this segment of the New Haven Line, but two of those tracks are out of service for a long-term project to replace overhead catenary wires, Metro-North said. The remaining two tracks sustained extensive infrastructure damage as a result of the collision. Both the track and the overhead wire have been damaged. The train cars involved cannot be removed until the on-scene investigation is complete, and they will need to be removed by crane.
Normal service through this area is not expected to resume until a full investigation is complete, the infrastructure is fully assessed and repairs are made, Metro-North said.
