QUEENS — N and W trains weren't running between Manhattan and Queens for an hour because of signal problems at Lexington Avenue-59th Street on Friday morning, officials said.

The trains weren't running in either direction between 57th Street-Seventh Avenue and Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard, the MTA announced at 8:47 a.m.

Regular service resumed about 9:45 a.m. with "extensive delays," the MTA said.
