Looks like there was another minor derailment sometime between yesterday afternoon and this morning involving NYAR. It was minor though, off the mainline. I drove past the Deer Park PC Richard spur today and noticed one hopper car tied down just east of the industry crossing, and crews working on the rail this afternoon. A wheel or two probably came off the rail while the cars were being spotted.

Looked to be crew working on that spur's track on 08/14 - right about where the mentioned derailment .

Who is the owner of this spur? Who does the track work LIRR or contractor?

Thanks.
