Subway service on the 1, 2, and 3 train lines in Manhattan was fully restored on Sunday, more than 60 hours after a collision between two trains left 26 people injured, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said in a social media post.
Officials swiftly suspended subway service on the 1 and 3 lines between Times Square and Harlem, a stretch that includes very busy stations. The 2 train was diverted to the East Side in Manhattan. Soon after firefighters evacuated the passengers, M.T.A. crews began to repair the subway trains.
Both the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the subways, and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash. Human error appears to have caused the collision, according to three transit officials with knowledge of the investigation.
