LIRR Adds Additional Trains Ahead of Snow

Three more trains added from Penn Station to Babylon to help West Islip riders get home early.

In preparation for tonight's expected snowfall, the Long Island Rail Road has added additional trains to get commuters home from New York City tonight.

The LIRR has added eight trains out of Penn Station tonight, including three more on the Babylon Branch, to help alleviate the stress potentially caused by tonight's expected winter storm.

The trains added are as follows:

  • A 2:32 p.m. train from Penn Station due in Babylon at 3:45 p.m., running express to Lynbrook and then all local stops to Babylon.
  • A 3:00 p.m. train from Penn Station due in Babylon at 4:12 p.m. with stops at Jamaica and Rockville Centre and then all local stops to Babylon.
  • A 3:31 p.m. train from Penn Station due in Babylon at 4:39 p.m., running express to Rockville Centre and then all local stops to Babylon.

The LIRR said it was not currently delayed on any of its lines. Customers should take precautions getting home and expect potential delays due to the snow.

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Has anyone been able to find out if we are losing money renting this building to this for profitRead More preschool? If I under stood correctly from previous post's, there may be some friendship with one or more BOE members which paved the way for their lease.

I think Proposition 2 is a great idea, in the current structure you have to "call out" anRead More individual basically saying "I think you are doing a particularly bad job". Politics get dirty enough as is and I think this will increase participation and ultimately give us a better Board of Education.

Why didn't the author run for the open seat this year? Bark of a wolf and courage of a lamb.
