When I was reverse commuting from Manhattan to Sunset Park the train would regularly shut down on the bridge and just sit there with the power off for 45 minutes or more. I regularly had 2-3hr commutes, usually 3-4 days in a row when it was bad. This was one of my main reasons for swearing off the subway before I left the city.
