New York City subway riders were stranded in trains for about two hours Monday morning as the area was belted with snow and freezing rain.
A Manhattan-bound No. 7 train stalled in Queens at about 9:30 a.m., blocking four other trains behind it, Kevin Ortiz, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said in a telephone interview. The agency is seeking to determine whether the delay was caused by ice on the tracks or other reasons, Ortiz said.
