HUNTS POINT (WABC) -- Subway disruptions continue on the number 6 line as crews clean up from a massive water main break.

The MTA says up to 800,000 gallons of water flooded the East 143rd Street station on Saturday morning.

More than 3,000 feet of track was submerged.

Workers had to pump out the water and remove debris.

Crews are now repairing damaged signals and other components. Meanwhile, 6 trains are suspended between 138th Street and Hunts Point Avenue.
