Apparently there is a strange odor at the 53rd and 7th station that has caused it to be evacuated.
B, D, and E trains are bypassing the station at this time, and last we heard, passengers are not being allowed to enter the station. However, the MTA says the V train is running with residual delays. So I guess it’s at least partially open?
The strange odor is allegedly coming from a faulty elevator motor. Of course, that is no shock.
The V doesn’t run through that station, only the B, D, and E trains. The V goes from Rock Ctr to 53/5th and then 53/Lex.

You know what gets me? How the hell did they distinguish the smell of a failing elevator motor and the rest of the smell of the subway? They both stink.

Especially those elevators. What would be suspicious is if you *didn’t* have to hold your breath to use the elevator.
