Service suspended starting early Tuesday evening and for the remainder of Tuesday night because of the fire.

Metro-North advises customers to check for updates and listen for announcements at local stations for the Wednesday morning commute.

Service into and out of Grand Central was suspended just before 7 p.m. Tuesday as a result of smoke conditions caused by a string of propane tank explosions under the tracks at East 119th Street and Park Avenue.

The blaze broke out about 6:30 p.m. No injuries were reported and the majority of the fire was reportedly contained by 8:30 p.m.
