Conn. rail service returning to normal

Regular train service is returning to Connecticut, five days after a derailment injured scores of commuters and damaged tracks.

Commuter rail service from Connecticut to New York City, along with Amtrak service between Boston and New York, is scheduled to resume Wednesday morning on one of the nation's oldest and most heavily traveled railways.

Metro-North had been using buses to shuttle passengers around the affected area while the tracks were rebuilt.

The operation will require a reduced speed of 30 mph for several days, which officials say is standard for new track installations.

The Metro-North crash at rush hour Friday evening injured 72 people, including one who remained in critical condition Tuesday. It snarled commutes for roughly 30,000 people who normally use the train.
