CHELSEA — Two F trains got stuck on the southbound 23rd Street station track during the evening rush, according to witnesses on social media, triggering train delays.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the trains to stall at the station, but the MTA reported delays on southbound F and M trains due to "mechanical problems" at the 23rd Street stop on its website.
