NYC subway power outage
Subway service is facing major disruptions, with the B, C and M lines dealing with severe delays. Lines also experiencing delays include the A, D, E, F, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The disruption is due to a loss of third rail power near West 4th Street–Washington Square, which is currently under investigation.
PATH trains are also experiencing delays in both directions—between Hoboken and the World Trade Center and between Hoboken and 33rd Street—for the same reason.

NYC subway lines experiencing delays after power outage
Several New York City subway lines are suspended or partially suspended due to a power outage in Manhattan during the busy morning commute on a scorching-hot day.
This comes just days after a similar outage crippled service across multiple lines.
On Tuesday, several lines—including the A, B, D, F, M, Q, and 6—were delayed or suspended during the height of the morning rush. That incident was caused by a power failure near West 4th Street that occurred just before 8:30 a.m. Crews were able to restore power after resetting a tripped breaker, but significant delays lasted for hours.
Riders are advised to expect residual delays and consider alternate routes until service is fully restored.
Local perspective:
Temperatures will reach the upper 80s today, guaranteeing discomfort for thousands of subway riders, delays or not.
