Posted by Gold_12th on Fri Sep 7 20:06:01 2012, in response to J and M fubar, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Sep 7 16:04:28 2012. The MTA says a smoke condition started in the train tunnel between the Bowery and Essex Street Stations along Delancey Street on the Lower East Side. Fire Department says there were two trains impacted between two stations, Bowery and Essex Street. Both trains were able to get to a station and the passengers got out at those stations. A lower Manhattan-bound J train with 350 passengers and a Queens-bound M train with 200 riders had to back up to Essex Street to let people out. The MTA says that took about 18 minutes. No injuries were reported. The smoke condition started at 2:52 p.m. The MTA says a wall mounted electrical box between Bowery and Essex Stations caught fire. The box feeds the third rail for the J and M trains. It caused smoke in tunnel. Firefighters extinguished the blaze without issue. The MTA says no trains are stuck and no passengers are stuck on trains at this time. There is limited J train service between Marcy Av and Broad St. Downtown M trains are terminating at 2 Av. Please expect delays in J and M train service at this time. Customers trying to get to Brooklyn should take the A, C or L trains to Broadway Junction and then come back on the J to points in Brooklyn. ----http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=resources/traffic&id=8802192 |
