Roosevelt Island Tram Cabin Gets Stuck After Leaving Tram Station This Morning – Can’t Move Forward To Manhattan and After 10 Minutes Is Hauled Back To Roosevelt Island Tram Station

Received this message from a Roosevelt Island resident who was stuck briefly on the Roosevelt Island Tram this morning:

Was on the north cabin 7:15 am tram this am, shortly as we started our trip the cabin stopped moving. We didnt even make it as far as the visitors kiosk. Sat there about 10 minutes, they were unable to get us to move forward. We finally got hauled back to the station, and the south cabin then took us across.

Those cabins sure do get HOT when you are not moving!

I asked RIOC for comment as to what happened with the Tram this morning but have not heard back at the time this is published. Will update if RIOC responds with an explanation. In the event that a stuck Roosevelt Island Tram cabin is not able to make it back to one of the Stations, here’s how Tram Riders may get rescued by the New York City Fire Department.
