10 AM Rush LIRR Trains Canceled
The NJ Transit derailment is still rearing its ugly head for LIRR commuters. 10 AM Rush trains will be canceled. Here are the complete details courtesy of the press release I received:
As Amtrak crews continue repairing track damage at Penn Station, the Long Island Rail Road must cancel 10 trains to Penn Station between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., terminate three trains at Jamaica, and divert one train to Hunterspoint Avenue, Queens, because of reduced tracks available by Amtrak.
New York City Transit will cross-honor LIRR tickets at Jamaica, Atlantic Terminal and Hunterspoint Avenue.
Metro-North Railroad is advising customers on its West-of-Hudson lines to travel to New York City via Hoboken and PATH trains as opposed to changing trains at Secaucus.
Details follow for both railroads:
Long Island Rail Road
As Amtrak crews continue to repair tracks damaged in Monday morning’s derailment, the Long Island Rail Road will need to cancel 10 morning rush hour trains to Penn Station on Wednesday, terminate three others at Jamaica, and divert one other train to Hunterspoint Avenue, Queens.
The remaining LIRR trains to Penn Station could experience delays and crowding.
The LIRR will operate on near normal schedules to Atlantic Terminal, Brooklyn, and Hunterspoint Avenue, Queens.
At train terminals in Brooklyn and Queens, New York City Transit will cross-honor LIRR tickets for continuing service to Midtown Manhattan. At Jamaica, LIRR tickets will be cross-honored on the subway line, at Atlantic Terminal, they will be cross-honored for the subway lines, and at Hunterspoint Avenue they will be cross-honored for the subway line.

Metro-North West-of-Hudson Customers
Metro-North’s customers of the Port Jervis Line and Pascack Valley Line will have regular train schedules to Hoboken. But Metro-North advises customers that train service from Secaucus will be reduced in accordance with information released by NJ TRANSIT. As a result, Metro-North’s Port Jervis Line and Pascack Valley Line customers who are bound for New York City are advised to remain on their trains until the train reaches Hoboken. There, customers will find continuing service to Manhattan via PATH trains.
With extra NJ TRANSIT trains scheduled to enter Hoboken station tomorrow, Hoboken-bound customers should expect congestion-related delays and plan extra time for travel.
For the latest service updates, Pascack Valley Line and Port Jervis Line customers are encouraged to sign up for NJ TRANSIT’s email alerts at njtransit.com/mytransit, use the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App and DepartureVision website, and follow @NJTRANSIT on Twitter.
