Expect Extensive Delays on the 4, 5, 6 Lines...Or Not?

2008_07_456.jpgDue an "incident with a forklift at the Westchester Yard," the MTA says riders should be prepared for "extensive delays in service on the 4, 5 and 6 trains at this time." What kind of incident, you ask? Well, according to WNBC, "The forklift hit and damaged the third rail preventing trains from getting out of the yard for the afternoon rush hour." Oh, crap. Update: WABC 7 says everything's back to normal, but as of 5:16 p.m., the MTA's website still says there may be delays. Intrepid straphangers, let us know how it goes!

They tried to kill me with a forklift!

I rode the downtown 4 and 6 with no problems around 5:30...

Waited for an uptown 6 at 23rd St last night at around 8:30PM for at least 30 minutes. A separate incident? Who knows...the booth attendant kept his head down and was, as usual, aggressively rude to anyone with the audacity to ask him a question.
