Subway service on New York City's 7 line has been shut down because of icing.

According to the AP, trains near the Queensboro Plaza station lost power about 9:30 a.m. Monday. Passengers on the trains have been stranded for more than two hours. Four express trains filled with morning commuters have still not been evacuated, DNAinfo reported.

According to DNAinfo, trains were suspended between 42nd Street and Flushing Main Street starting about 9 a.m.

In a statement to the New York Daily News, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority blamed the outage on ice impeding the flow of electricity from the third rail to the trains.

There's no word when regular service will be able to resume on the line.

Update: ABC7 is now reporting that all passengers have been safely evacuated from the train.
