No. 7 line out

The No. 7 line is not moving in either direction after a power outage knocked out the line’s signals.
No trains have moved since 1:35 p.m. while New York City Transit workers attempt to figure out what knocked out the power. Officials could not say when power and train service would be restored. Transit officials said all trains were able to roll into stations and unload passengers.
From the MTA:
Limited Shuttle Bus service is available between Flushing - Main Street and 74th Street - Broadway where customers can transfer to the E, F, R or V for service into Manhattan.
In addition, customers are advised to take the Q32 from 42nd Street and Madison Avenue, running along Queens Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue, making nearby station stops between Grand Central-42nd Street and 82nd Street-Jackson Heights.
For additional stops, customers can use the Q23, Q48, Q66 or Q72 bus service.
UPDATE: It's back...The No. 7 line is running local from Times Square to Flushing, both ways, with residual delays. A feeder cable in Queens that powers the signals was the culprit of the outage.
