以下记录只是1990年以来纽约地铁的事故的不完全记录：
08/03/2011 A 6 Train derailed in Harlem near the 125th Street station at 4:14 a.m. About 100 passengers were evacuated safely and there were no injuries.
07/11/2011A Metro North train derailment in midtown Manhattan last month was both uncomfortable and potentially dangerous for passengers. The six car train on the Hudson Line was carrying hundreds of passengers during the evening rush hour on Monday, July 11, 2011.
05/17/2011 At around 6:00 a.m, a work train came off the B tracks at Dekalb Avenue Station, putting the entire line out of commission and creating delays along several other lines.
02/13/2009 Just after 1:00pm, a Coney Island bound "D" train derailed at the 81st Street/Museum of Natural History station on the IND 8th Avenue Line. An MTA official says that "approximately two cars were derailed" （WCBS-TV）. Passengers were loaded onto another train that pulled up behind the derailed one. The rescue train took them to the West 125th Street/St. Nicholas Avenue station. The A and D trains were put into local service between 125th Street and 59th Street stations while C train was suspended along the entire length of its run. It is believed that 500 people were on board the IND train. According to a report from WABC-TV's website, a broken rail was reported at the station, but it is not known if that countributed to the accident. （Thanks to David Harris for the report.）
05/04/2008 A Brooklyn bound "N" train derailed at the 57th Street/7th Avenue station on the BMT Broadway Subway. Passengers were evacuated from the derailed train with a rescue train. The passengers came to the surface at the 5th Avenue station. There were no serious injuries as a result of this accident. N service was suspended in both directions between Queensboro Plaza and Times Square, Bay Ridge bound R trains were re-routed via the "F" line between 36th Street （Queens） and Herald Square. A shuttle train was put into service between Queensboro Plaza and Ditmars Blvd. NYC Transit says the train's operator and motorman will receive blood alcohol testing. （Thanks to David Harris for the writeup.）
11/06/2007 Bumper block overshoot at Chambers Street, 11/6/2007.

07/03/1997 At 10:20 pm a Queens-bound A train derails under St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem, just north of the 135th Street Station as it is going over a switch.
