SFist came upon an odd scene at Duboce and Church this evening, in which one N Judah was stopped facing downtown with passengers stuck on it, another train was facing Ocean Beach on the same track, and a couple of other trains and a shuttle were sitting willy-nilly.

Muni service on the K, L, M and T lines through the Twin Peaks Tunnel was restored tonight at around 7:15 p.m., however shuttle buses continued to run in order to maintain "regular service."

Meanwhile, N-line service will be interrupted again this weekend by track improvements which may or may not be done by Monday morning. ALSO, the L-train derailment happened in the exact spot of a similar 2006 derailment, which was allegedly fixed. Says Sunset district resident Mike Casey, as quoted on SF Gate, the process of diverting commuter traffic into shuttles at Castro station went relatively smoothly. "But," he says, "they've got to fix the underground." Yah. Understatement. more ›

Also, it turns out that this was the second derailment on MUNI in seven days. Where was the first derailment? more ›
