There was an electrical fire at NYP early this morning. (Don't tell The Addict, he'll blame you know who :p )

From USAToday http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/01/13/penn-station-fire/21680537/

Subway service on the A, E and C subway lines, which had been bypassing 34th Street, resumed service through the area at 5:38 a.m., the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said. However, trains operated at slower speeds and with residual delays through the morning rush hour.

There was no damage to Penn Station platforms or track areas. But electrical power to three Penn Station platforms used by the Long Island Rail Road was shut down during the fire.

As a result, the LIRR diverted some morning trains...

According to Trains Magazine the fire, which started around 2:30 in the morning, was accidental and caused by temporary wiring used for lighting a construction project.
