Midtown direct service is being diverted to Hoboken until the issue is resolved, transit officials said.

“So we’ve ‘derailed’ in the tunnel under the Hudson. Packed standing room only train. How do we get out and how long might this take?!” asked user Rich Haskell.
Another user wrote that train #3926 derailed “right at the entrance to Lincoln tunnel.”
“All passengers ok as we were crawling into the tunnel at slow speed,” user nick primola wrote.
