Things are back to normal for subway commuters in Queens today after Friday’s derailment in Woodside.
Regular service resumed on the E, F, M, and R lines along Queens Boulevard this morning.
E and F trains ran local and the R was suspended in Queens over the weekend after a Manhattan-bound F train jumped the tracks near the 65th Street station.
Straphangers we spoke with say they’re glad to have their regular service back.
“I was pretty impressed by that, cause I thought it would be out for a week,” said one straphanger.
“I’m happy that normal service is back on. I know there was injuries, but Friday was a big delay to get home,” said another straphanger.
The MTA says the derailment was caused by a small fracture in the rail under the train.
The agency says the rail was manufactured last November and installed in March.
It was removed and sent for testing.
