Derailed Harlem River Express Delays Suburban Service
The White Plains express of the Harlem Division ran off the Grand Central drawbridge over the Harlem River due to a broken rail six feet long. Four tracks cross the bridge and the locomotive plus two cars left the track, causing window damage, a mild panic among about 200 passengers, and a twenty minute delay as trains including the Southwestern Limited and the Twentieth Century Limited were held. The engineer sustained serious cuts while passengers were moved to another train and a wrecking crew cleared the line. Traffic remained congested for two hours until the bridge could be opened.
