LIRR Cancels PM Trains, Full Service Expected Friday Morning

The bad news: 20 Long Island Rail Road trains have been cancelled for Thursday's PM rush.

The good: Railroad officials say they expect full service to be restored by Friday morning.

The following trains on the Port Jefferson/Huntington Branch are cancelled Thursday:

• The 3:27 p.m. train from Penn Station due in Huntington at 4:33 p.m. is cancelled. Customers will be accommodated by the 3:43 p.m. train from Penn Station to Huntington, which will make all combined stops.
• The 6:30 p.m. train from New York due in Huntington at 7:32 p.m. is cancelled. Customers will be accommodated by the 6:35 p.m. from New York to Hicksville, which will be extended to Huntington.

On the Ronkonkoma Branch:

• The 4:54 p.m. train from New York due in Farmingdale at 5:56 p.m. is cancelled. Commuters will be accommodated by the 5:01 p.m. train from New York to Ronkonkoma, which will make all added stops.

Following a week of cancellations and delays, the LIRR is expected to operate on a normal schedule Friday morning as Amtrak crews finish repairs from a derailment on Sunday.
