Because of that, the TEXRail trains could not safely pass between the North Side Station and the Fort Worth T&P Station.
Those who commute between those two stations and the Fort Worth Central Station were redirected to buses.
The service returned to normal around 11 a.m. after crews successfully moved the wrecked freight cars.
