F train service was largely restored in Brooklyn early Thursday, about half a day after the subway system's second derailment within a week wreaked havoc on service throughout the borough.
The derailed train near West 8th St-NY Aquarium had been removed before 6 a.m. and the elevated tracks were inspected to ensure safety. The MTA said trains were running again between Avenue X and Stillwell Avenue, though northbound trains were set to run slower near the incident site to allow ongoing repairs.
Transit officials say one car of the northbound F train derailed between the Neptune and 8th Street stations around 12:20 p.m. They say there are no known reports of injuries. Thirty-seven people were removed from the train by 3 p.m.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the derailment.
New York City Transit and MTA officials responded. The Office of Emergency Management is assisting, as is the NYPD.

The Brooklyn incident comes less than a week after a minor collision between trains led to a derailment on the Upper West Side -- and commuter headaches for days. Twenty-six people suffered minor injuries in that Jan. 4 case. The NTSB is investigating.
