Service restored on portion of LIRR Port Jefferson Branch

Service between Northport and Kings Park on the LIRR's Port Jefferson Branch was restored Tuesday morning after crews repaired a broken rail, officials said.

In a 12:40 a.m. post to X, the Long Island Rail Road said the issue in "single-track territory" had been fixed.

Service on that portion was suspended Monday and buses were available for passengers between Northport and Kings Park, the LIRR had announced in an alert.
