Beijing's subway Line 2 resumed normal operation at 9:55 a.m. Thursday after suspension for around 1 hour and 45 minutes, the Beijing Subway Company said.

Counter-clockwise trains on the loop line were suspended at 8:12 a.m. after a cable fell from the tunnel roof and caused a power blackout near Jishuitan Station, according to subway company officials.

It said the suspension did not lead to commuter crowds as the morning rush hour was almost ended when the accident happened and passengers were evacuated immediately.
