NEW YORK CITY - Service along the 7 train resumed Thursday night after it was shut down in both directions because of signal problems, according to the MTA's website.
Service along the 7 line was suspended for about an hour before being resumed with residual delays shortly after 7 p.m., according to the MTA's website.
Straphangers could be seen huddling under umbrellas while they waited to board the Q66 bus near Queens Plaza.
