Description
NEW YORK CITY — New Yorkers' morning commutes ran a little slower than usual Wednesday as delays hit at least six subway lines, according to the MTA.
As many as 10 different lines saw delays at various points during the morning, but MTA crews managed to resolve them quickly.
The main delay for the morning involved service between Manhattan and Brooklyn on the A/C/E/F lines, which was listed as "severely disrupted" as of 8:06 a.m., according to the MTA.
Crews were troubleshooting a switch problem at the Jay Street-MetroTech station, officials said.
The delay played out in service changes for the A/C/F lines, with some trains stopping early or switching to different lines, according to the MTA.
MTA crews managed to resolve the issue, but A/C/F trains are still running with "extensive delays" as of 8:19 a.m., officials said.
E line trains, which were sharing tracks with rerouted A/C/F trains, were delayed in both directions, according to the MTA. But the delays on the line appeared to be resolved by 8:19 a.m., the MTA posted.
Beyond the A/C/E/F delays, northbound B and Q lines ran with delays as crews addressed a signal problem at Prospect Park, the MTA posted at 7:39 a.m.
And the Staten Island Rail Road's 8 a.m. train from Tottenville to St. George will not run, the MTA posted.
"We're running as much service as we can with the train crews we have available," the MTA posted.
