NYC Subway Derailment: Lines Remain Suspended For Repairs

NEW YORK CITY — Two major subway lines remained partly suspended Friday morning as crews continued repairs on a train involved in a collision and derailment that injured 26 people, MTA officials said.

The 1 and 3 lines saw no service between Times Square and uptown stations during the morning rush hour, according to MTA alerts.

Service on the lines will remain partly suspended at least through Friday's rush hours, officials said.

"We are making repairs to a train that derailed near 96 St so that we can move it to its storage facility," the MTA posted. "After that is done, we plan to inspect the tracks in the area and make any needed repairs to the tracks and infrastructure."

The collision and derailment unfolded Thursday when a commuter 1 train hit an out-of-service train at the 96th Street station, officials said.

The crash led to at least 26 people being injured and a derailment.

Straphangers will see no 1 train service between 137th Street-City College and Times Square-42nd Street, officials said.

No 3 train service will be seen between 135th Street and Times Square-42nd Street, according to an MTA post.

And 2 trains have been rerouted to run on East Side 4 and 5 lines in Manhattan, officials said.

MTA officials recommended straphangers consider A, B, C and D trains or M1, M2, M4, M5, M7 and M104 buses as alternatives.
