Maybe NJT shouldn't have trains derail at such slow speeds and take a lesson from Metro North. MNRR gets the job done when it counts. Look at the PJL up and running in months. That would've taken NJT years if not decades.

However, since you know it was a minimal derailment, you must have the details of what caused it and what the full damage is.
How can a minimal derailment cause delays for weeks?
What a disgrace...
