Roosevelt Island Tram Shut Down This Morning For Mechanical Difficulties - Hopefully Fixed In 6 - 8 Hours

Roosevelt Island Tram Shutdown This Morning

Received the following notice from RIOC just before 10 A.M:
Tram is shut down due to mechanical difficulties until further notice.
I inquired of RIOC President Steve Shane of the problem and he replied:
Mechanical failure. Problem being fixed. Hope is for 6-8 hour suspension. More info later.
Tram Being Repaired

UPDATE 1:25 PM - RIOC is now reporting:
Please be advised the Tram is back in service.

I see the tram moving, so perhaps they're testing a fix. A good sign, in any case...
