NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Subways are running normally after several delays caused by signal problems and other issues, the MTA said.

Six different subway lines throughout New York City were affected.

Signal troubles south of Junction Boulevard caused delays on the 7 line, and there are switch problems at Franklin Avenue causing issues on the 4 and 5 lines.

The problems impacted the E, F, M, R, 7, J, 2, 3, 4, and 5 train lines.

One of the trains was stuck on the Williamsburg Bridge. At 3:50 p.m., a northbound J train stalled on the Williamsburg Bridge.

A rescue train was sent and passengers were brought back to a nearby station.
