The Metro-North train service has been restored after a East Harlem building collapse caused the train system to be suspended Tuesday.
Customers can still expect delays of more than an hour, along with crowded conditions, Metro-North said in a statement posted on its Web site.
The Hudson, Harlem and New Haven lines of the Metro-North were suspended Tuesday afternoon after a vacant five-story building collapsed at 124th Street and Park Avenue, just one block from the 125th Street station in Harlem, where all three lines stop on their way to and from Grand Central Terminal.
There were no reports of any injuries.
Metro-North, the second-largest U.S. commuter railroad, carries about 125,000 customers daily on the three lines between Manhattan's Grand Central and the suburbs in Connecticut and New York.
The property is owned by Kushner Cos. of Florham Park, New Jersey, according to city property records. The company's chairman is apartment developer Charles Kushner, who last year paid $1.8 billion, the most ever spent on a single building, for 666 Fifth Ave., a 41-story midtown Manhattan office tower.
