NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fire in a subway storage room forced the suspension of major New York City underground rail lines on Friday, temporarily stranding thousands of morning commuters.
No injuries were reported, a Fire Department spokesman said.
Smoke filled the station at West Fourth Street and Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, forcing the suspension of numerous subway lines that intersect at the station, a spokesman for the transit authority said.
