Week Ends With More Commuting Woes for LIRR Riders

Find out which eastbound afternoon trains were canceled.

LIRR riders can once again expect delays and cancellations Friday morning as railroad crews continue repair work and testing as a result of damage to a major switching tower at Jamaica Station earlier this week.

Even though a majority of the repair work has been completed, the Friday morning service plan includes a cancellation of 33 westbound trains.

The evening rush hour service from Penn Station will consist of trains making local stops to Huntington/Port Jefferson, Ronkonkoma/Greenport, Long Beach, Babylon and Montauk. Customers are advised to board trains that do not require a change at Jamaica.
