Commuting Delays Over for LIRR Riders

After a week of delays and cancellations, the MTA says train riders can expect a return to their regularly scheduled trains Monday morning.

According to the MTA, crews worked round-the-clock to repair that railroad's switch and signal system in Jamaica that was damaged in a fire last week.

"I appreciate the challenges our customers faced during the past week and I thank them for their patience during what has been a difficult time," said LIRR President Helena E. Williams. "I would also like to thank the hundreds of railroad employees who worked around the clock to put the damaged signal and switch system back together while keeping service going and assisting our customers throughout the week. Once again, they demonstrated their dedication and commitment to our customers."
