ELMHURST, QUEENS -- Signal problems at an Elmhurst subway station snarled service on the E,F, M and R trains during New Yorkers' Wednesday morning commute in Queens, the MTA said.
The MTA reported signal issues at the Woodhaven Boulevard station at around 7 a.m.
It caused southbound E and F trains to run local between Forest Hills-71 Ave and Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave stations, the MTA said. That delayed service on the E, F, M and R lines.
