Power at Grand Central Terminal was fully restored Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The Metro-North Railroad announced Tuesday that its ticket machines and departure boards at the terminal were operating normally. Full lighting at the terminal was also restored and retail stores reopened, authorities said.
A burst water pipe led to a power outage at Grand Central Terminal Monday, closing businesses on the lower level and sending passengers walking in the dark.
Employees and passengers were escorted from the terminal's lower level to the main floor when the power went out at about 9 a.m. Monday, according to the MTA. Service on the Metro-North commuter rail was not disrupted. It already was on holiday schedule due to President's Day.
The MTA said some ticket machines did go out of service, and that riders taking trains departing from the station could buy tickets on board without the surcharges that normally apply to such purchases.
Workers in the closed stores said power failures had happened before, but only for short amounts of time.
