As of 5 a.m all of the trains on the line were back. According to the MTA:
“Using portable pumps, crews were successful in removing water three to ten feet deep along the tracks stretching from the 103rd Street station to 125th Street. Crews also replaced approximately 30 motorized signal stop arms that were damaged by the water. A massive clean-up of mud and debris was done, while Tracks and third rails were power-washed. Work trains were called into service to remove debris as it was collected and bagged.”
