NYC Subway Delays: Passenger, Train Issues Rankle 10 Lines

NEW YORK — Train problems and sick passengers roiled rush-hour commutes on 10 subway lines Monday morning. The MTA warned of delays and service changes affecting the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, E, B, D, F and M lines because of the various issues.

E, F and M trains were hit by "extensive delays" after someone needing medical assistance was helped at Forest Hills-71st Avenue, the transit agency said. And signal problems at Herald Square caused delays on the B and D lines, the agency said.

A train's brakes getting activated between 96th Street and Central Park North forced northbound 3 trains to stop along the 1 line from 96th Street to 137th Street, while some northbound 2 trains were running along the 5 line from Nevins Street to 149th Street-Grand Concourse, the MTA said.

Separately, southbound 1 train riders briefly faced delays after a train with mechanical problems was removed from 28th Street, the agency said. And someone needing medical assistance at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall briefly caused delays on northbound 4 and 5 trains, the MTA said.
