Brooklyn subway service suspended due to flooding from heavy rain

MTA subway service on the No. 2, 3, 4 and 5 trains was suspended Friday shortly before 9 a.m. due to flooding on the tracks during the morning downpour.

It was not immediately clear how many stations along the IRT lines were flooded, but MTA alerts indicated flooding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden station in Crown Heights had also halted the Franklin Ave. S train.

That station also serves the Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 lines as the Franklin Ave. stop.

Brooklyn service was also suspended on the F train, and the G train was not running south of Bedford – Nostrand Ave. due to water on the tracks.

The MTA also suspended northbound service on the B train Friday, after flooding at the Newkirk Plaza station in Flatbush.

Rainfall also knocked out the southern end of the N train, with no service between Coney Island – Stillwell Ave. and Kings Highway.

Brooklyn wasn’t the only borough affected Friday morning. Flooding shut down the Staten Island railroad south of Huguenot shortly before 9:30 a.m.
