Queens Blvd trains are back up and running today!
“We realize Wednesday was an extremely difficult day on the E, F, N, R, V and W lines and we apologize, but we ran the most, and more importantly the safest service on the Queens Boulevard line that we could under the circumstances,” says the MTA.
Still, some queens pols plan to give both Con Ed and the MTA an earful around 11:30 today. Assemblyman Michael N. Gianaris still doesn’t even have power in his office or home.
“This is incompetence on part of Con Edison pure and simple. they assured us at the beginning of summer they were prepared and then at the first sign of a major heat wave the entire system collapses in Western Queens,” Gianaris tells The Tracker. He promised Assembly hearings.
