The train operator said it is aiming to resume services in areas affected by the accident by noon Saturday, not the morning as earlier announced.
As the obstacle detection device at the crossing was functioning, the police are investigating whether the train driver applied the brakes appropriately.
The train operator had initially sought to normalize services by the Friday evening rush-hour period, but removal of the carriages is taking more time than expected.
With the train services canceled between Keikyu-Kawasaki and Yokohama stations, people were forced to take detours using other train lines.
