MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- Power has been restored at Grand Central Terminal in New York City following an outage on Thursday.
MTA officials say Grand Central Terminal experienced a drop in voltage to the feeder network around 8:30 p.m. that resulted in lights going out in portions of the building.
They say no train service was impacted, and operations at Grand Central Madison were unaffected throughout.
Power was restored to the upper level at 8:53 p.m. and the lower level at 9:17 p.m.
MTA officials say no injuries were reported, but five Metro-North Railroad employees were briefly in elevators stopped without electricity, until doors were opened and emergency generators activated.
