Rush hour turned tragic on one of the city's busiest subway lines Thursday evening when a woman was killed by a northbound 6 train at 77th Street.
The 48-year-old woman was struck just before 3:45 p.m., according to cops, who said she was on the tracks, possibly trying to retrieve an object like a cell phone.
Witnesses say she appeared to see that a train was coming -- but she couldn't get back onto the platform in time.
New York City Transit re-routed uptown service, running trains express from Grand Central Terminal to 125th Street. Downtown trains are running normally, but were skipping 77th Street.
