LIRR Cancellations Due To NJT Train Derailment
The evening commute will be hell for thousands of Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road, & New Jersey Transit riders due to a NJT train derailment this morning at Penn Station. Due to the derailment, usage was lost on 9 of the 21 tracks in Penn Station. The LIRR is forced to share track space with New Jersey Transit which means that some PM rush trains will be canceled. Here is the complete list courtesy of the information sent to me by the LIRR. I apologize for not posting it sooner but I was tied up:
