And I always wondered if that could happen. 

Could probably derail you. Good that no one was coming around there fast! How was it even discovered (before it was too late)?

Probably called in by a T/O going in the opposite direction. Because the signal is still lit I doubt if it would show up on a tower or model board because it was still functioning. Worse (or best) case scenario is having a signal maintainer or TSS investigate it if it wouldn't clear. Looking at the picture it appears to me that the signal is across the s/b track and should be visible to a T/O before he/she would make contact with  it.

Q1-509 - the upright signal - appears to be dark. I wonder what happened here.

There was a rail condition/replacement north of Canal Street and my R32 (J) was held for more than a few minutes. I decided to go home instead of RFWing since I waited long for it at Broad Street and the issue north of Canal Street where the curve is before Bowery occurred. I had to celebrate my little bro's birthday anyway.

For the past 45 minutes or so, the (2) and (5) have been FUBARed by a rail condition at Jackson Av. For a while there hasn't been any service between 135 St and 3 Av-149 St on the (2) and no service between E 180 St and 149 St-Grand Concourse on the (5). In the past few minutes, (2) train service has resumed for the most part but with extensive delays, so much so that some (5) trains are being extended into Brooklyn, at least according to the service change posting:
