LIRR AM Rush Service Change
Due to the derailment a little over 24 hours ago, the LIRR announced a service change for the AM rush which sees 9 trains canceled. Here are the complete details:
MTA Long Island Rail Road tonight announced that crews continuing to work around-the-clock at Jamaica Station following a derailment of one train car at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, February 8, have cleared the disabled 10-car train from the station. However, two tracks will remain out of service as inspections continue and a major storm approaches.
As a result, the LIRR will cancel nine of the total 144 morning rush hour trains on Thursday, February 9.
Site Restoration Progress
LIRR crews today re-railed the derailed train car and removed the entire train. As a result, the LIRR is now able to operate through Jamaica on seven of the nine tracks at the station.
While work continues, Tracks 7 and 8 remain out of service and the LIRR will continue to experience rush hour capacity restrictions in Jamaica until further notice.
As a result, for the morning rush hour of Thursday, February 9, the LIRR will cancel nine trains as follows. As noted below, nine trains that depart generally within 10 minutes will make additional stops to help accommodate the customers of the canceled trains.
