Subway service on the N, Q, R and W lines is disrupted as the FDNY responds to a report of a track fire at Herald Square.
Fire officials say they got a call about the possible fire at West 32nd Street and Sixth Avenue shortly before 8:30 a.m. The MTA says northbound R and W trains are running express from Canal Street to 57th Street. Riders should expect delays in N and Q service,.
At least three people riding a Q train tweeted that their subway passed through the smoke, with their conductor specifically warning they should not be alarmed.
It wasn't the only issue on the subways Friday morning. Mechanical problems at Park Place caused disruptions on northbound 2 and 3 trains, while a "hanging sign" at 14th Street rerouted some southbound 4 and 5 trains, the MTA tweeted.
Friday's commute was just the latest in a series of headaches for subway riders. (See timeline below.)
