New Canaan minor derailment: http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/local/a ... 247921.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
...One car on the derailed train is partially blocking the track leading to New Canaan station.
New Canaan branch southbound service will originate from Talmadge Hill station that is south of New Canaan station.
The incident is causing delays between 45 and 60 minutes and there is no time estimate when regular service will be restored.
The derailment happened in the rail yard at New Canaan station, according to Aaron Donovan, Metro-North spokesman.
Donovan said there were no passengers on the train when one car’s wheel left the track. The car is still standing on the track and equipment will be needed to reposition it on the track.
Next stop, Willoughby
