LIRR still reports minor delays on 2 branches after morning commute

Long Island Rail Road passengers still are facing a couple of minor delays after Monday's morning commute, officials said.

The Babylon Branch is experiencing delays because of a broken rail near Bellmore.

The 11:09 a.m. train from Babylon due at Penn at 12:22 p.m. is running 10 minutes late, officials said.

The 11:05 a.m. train from Penn due at Babylon at 12:24 p.m. is operating 12 minutes late.

 LIRR officials said crews were on the scene.

The Port Jefferson Branch was also experiencing delays of up to 10 minutes because of a track condition near Northport. Crews were on the scene as of 11 a.m. working on the problem, officials said. 

The Port Washington Branch had been operating at a reduced speed earlier in the day, with delays up to 10 minutes due to a signal malfunction. But the signal trouble was cleared and the branch is now operating on or close to schedule, LIRR officials said.
