Original post:
Our Twitter followers and Transit511 alerts us that the J and N lines are delayed due to a derailed outbound N-Judah train at Church and Duboce this evening. “Outbound service on the light-rail lines was being terminated in the subway at Van Ness station,” reports The Examiner. Shuttle services are running outbound past the derailment.
SF Public Press reporter Jerold Chinn tweeted that he is on the scene watching mechanics on top of the derailed train. No injuries were reported.
According to Transit511:
On Monday, October 24th at 6:54 pm, SF Muni reports delays on the J- and N- Lines at Church and Duboce Streets due to a derailment of the N-Judah outbound. The J-Line is switching back at 16th and Church Streets, and the N-Line is switching back at Carl St. and Hillway Ave. Shuttles are in place on the J-Line going to Balboa, and on the N-Line heading to Ocean Beach.

one of those muni nights: 5 different vehicles (bart + 2 streetcars + shuttle + bus) to get from 24th street to 5th avenue and an amazing sample of human beings (plus 2 dogs and 1 ferret) as fellow travelers.
I got shuttled earlier. It was less than delightful
Maybe we can just all be super surprised if we wake up Tuesday morning to *not* find a giant derailed N Judah still stuck there.
DAVID DID IT….LMAO
The Examiner is reporting wrong: they were still stopping at Castro and switching everyone to shuttle past 9:30-10pm.
Dayum! Seems the middle truck on the 2nd car “split the switch” @_@
Now, they have a track crew on that outbound facing point switch to throw and plug it for the corresponding moves on the J & N lines so such incident won’t happen again.
You’re right Rebecca.
The scene was not cleared until 1:00 a.m.
