NEW YORK CITY — Some express and local 7 trains were not running from Queens into Manhattan during the morning commute because of a mechanical issue at Grand Central, the MTA said.

As of about 10 a.m., some local 7 trains were stopping service at the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave. station, while others were ending at the 61st Street-Woodside station, the MTA said. Some express 7 trains were not going beyond the Queesnboro Plaza stop.

Service had resumed as of about 10:16 a.m., MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said.
