LIRR restores some service at Atlantic Terminal

The Long Island Rail Road has restored limited service into and out of Atlantic Terminal on Friday morning, railroad officials said.

Earlier, the railroad had announced the cancellation of all service to the terminal because of signal problems in Brooklyn.

The issue caused delays and cancellations on the Hempstead, West Hempstead, Long Beach, Ronkonkoma, Montauk and Far Rockaway branches of the railroad. The railroad said it will make announcements advising riders of the status of trains, noting some Brooklyn trains might still be canceled at Jamaica.

It was not immediately clear how long it will take to restore full service to the terminal. Officials said that New York City Transit is cross-honoring fares between Jamaica and Atlantic Terminal and between Atlantic Terminal and Penn Station.

As of 6:15 a.m. the railroad had announced the cancellation of at least three trains: the 5:01 a.m. train from Hempstead, scheduled to arrive at Atlantic Terminal at 5:51 a.m.; the 5:29 a.m. train from Atlantic Terminal to Long Beach, which was scheduled to arrive at 6:22 a.m.; and, the 5:52 a.m. train from Atlantic Terminal, scheduled to arrive in West Hempstead at 6:38 a.m. The canceled Long Beach train instead originated at Jamaica -- 45 minutes late, officials said. The 5:22 a.m. train from Far Rockaway to Atlantic Terminal was held at Jamaica, but the 6:38 a.m. train from Atlantic Terminal to Far Rockaway, scheduled to arrive at 7:34 a.m., reportedly was operating on time.
