MTA Suspends Multiple Subway Lines Due to Power Outage

New York City's subway services faced significant disruptions Thursday evening due to a loss of power affecting the signaling system near the 59th Street-Columbus Circle station. The MTA reported that B and C train services were suspended in both directions, with additional suspensions impacting A and D trains on various segments. The E train was rerouted to run along the M line between specific stations in Manhattan. The issue began around 5:30 p.m., coinciding with the evening rush hour, but the MTA has not provided a timeline for when services will be fully restored. Con Edison has dispatched a crew to assist but noted that there is no indication the outage originated from their systems. Commuters are advised to check the MTA's website for ongoing updates.
