A Metro North commuter train traveling from suburban Connecticut into Grand Central Terminal in New York City derailed in Fairfield, Connecticut and then collided with an outbound train. Social Media is feeding the first photos of the derailment and aftermath.
Hurricane Sandy is mere hours away from the Northeast Coast and chances are, if you're out now, you'll be riding out the storm where you are. Subway, commuter railroad and bus services have been suspended in major metropolitan areas across the region.
If you're only an occasional visitor to New York City and not well versed in riding the subway you may have been startled for a moment when you don't have cell phone service. Then it dawns on you, you're underground!
