Roosevelt Island residents started this frigid Monday morning learning there was no F Train subway service and finding huge lines
waiting for them
at the Roosevelt Island Tram station.

A Roosevelt Island tipster shares these photos and reports:
No F to Manhattan. Crowds up to the Kiosk
from both sides of the Tram.
Line now goes around the Kiosk to under
the Queensboro Bridge.
According to the MTA, a water condition at West 4th street station caused delays and service changes on many subway lines including the F.
Due to a water condition at W 4 St, service changes and delays are impacting the A,B,C,D,E,F,M and R lines. Details: https://t.co/gWshpvAdhHNYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) January 9, 2017
