Straphangers Lament Delays, Problems On No. 7 Train

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Another day, another problem on the No. 7 train.

As WCBS 880's Mike Xirinachs reported, the No. 7 line has become synonymous with problems, delays and breakdowns.

On Monday, a smoky condition caused by a rail connection issue stranded hundreds of straphangers in a tunnel under the East River.

Late is a word you hear a lot of from No. 7 train riders.
