Manhole fire causes serious subway trouble

  Eyewitness News

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A Brooklyn manhole fire shut down some subway lines Sunday evening, but service was back to normal by later in the night.

At one point the G, F and 4 lines were all out of service, and the 2 and 3 lines were affected as well.

It took some time for service to get back to normal, even once the trains started rolling again.

The fire hit around 5:45 p.m. in the Boerum Hill neighborhood. MTA officials say all trains were able to move - but slowly - and all had lights and air conditioning. No passengers were injured, and none were trapped at any point.
