LIRR rolls out July Fourth rail schedule
The Long Island Rail Road plans to increase service Thursday and run on a Saturday schedule on Friday in anticipation of Independence Day travelers, LIRR spokesman Salvatore Arena said.
On Thursday, trains will run on a regular schedule with an additional eight eastbound trains departing Penn Station between 2:08 and 3:48 p.m., including three on both the Babylon and Port Jefferson branches and one on both the Port Washington and Far Rockaway branches. Friday-only trains, including the Cannonball, a Penn Station express to Westhampton then stopping at Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton and Montauk, will operate Thursday and will not run Friday.
On Friday, trains will run on a Saturday schedule.
The Staten Island Railway will also operate on a Saturday schedule on Friday, and the Metro-North Railroad will operate on a Sunday schedule with extra trains added.
