'Severe Delays' Hit NYC Subway Line During Rush Hour: MTA

NEW YORK CITY — "Severe delays" on one subway line and other small slowdowns marred an otherwise smooth Wednesday rush hour in New York City.

A B train that had its brakes activated near Coney Island caused major problems for other trains along that line headed south, according to an MTA post.

Straphangers could expect "severe delays" as crews moved the train, officials said.

Delays were less dire on the E, F and R lines, but they nonetheless likely caused headaches for straphangers, an MTA post indicates.

Trains headed south along those lines ran with delays after NYPD officers responded to disruptive people on a train in the Forest Hills-71st Avenue station, a post states.

Besides the delays, MTA work on tracks led to skipped stops on the 1, 2, 6 and Q lines, according to a post.
