Statement from MTA Communications Director Tim Minton on Temporary Loss of Power at Grand Central Terminal

"At 8:28 p.m. on Thursday, September 25, 2025, Grand Central Terminal experienced a drop in voltage to the feeder network that resulted in lights going out in portions of the facility. No train service was interrupted and operations at Grand Central Madison were unaffected throughout. Power was restored to the upper level at 8:53 p.m. and the lower level at 9:17 p.m. No injuries were reported. Five Metro-North Railroad employees were briefly in elevators stopped without electricity, until doors were opened and emergency generators activated. We are working with Con Edison to investigate the cause of the outage."
