The power issue was resolved, but officials warned that delays would persist through the morning rush.
The FDNY was called to the transit hub to assist with a stalled train in the tube about 5:51 a.m. but left the scene about 20 minutes later, a spokesman said.
Wednesday's commuter woes come a day after a similar problem that also sparked delays in and out of Penn Station.
