The first eastbound train since the strike began 3½ days ago is due to depart Penn Station for Ronkokoma at 12:03 p.m., according to the MTA.
Other eastbound trains are scheduled to leave from Penn Station for Port Washington at 12:16 p.m., Huntington at 12:10 p.m. and Babylon at 12:22 p.m. From Grand Central Madison, trains will leave for Port Washington at 12:41 p.m., Massapequa at 12:06 p.m., and Far Rockaway at 1:17 p.m.
The first westbound trains headed toward the city will leave from Port Washington at 12:06 p.m., Huntington at 12:17 p.m., Ronkonkoma at 12:18 p.m. and Babylon at 12:14 p.m.
Riders should check TrainTime app for the latest updates.
Trains on diesel branches will start later. A westbound train from Montauk is scheduled for 2:45 p.m., while others are supposed to leave from Port Jefferson at 2 p.m., Greenport at 1:53 p.m. and Oyster Bay at 1:38 p.m.
Even though the strike ended at 12:01 a.m., restarting takes time because of federally mandated inspections of equipment and the need to position trains and workers in the right locations, according to LIRR President Rob Free.
"There's a lot of work that goes into it, and we're going to provide service rather quickly," Free said last night.
