As the strike deadline looms, the LIRR was operating on or close to schedule on all of its branches and people were going to work as usual.
The parking lot to the Ronkonkoma train station was fully packed Thursday morning, with most of the cars wet with the early morning rain.
Several commuters lined up at Track 1 waiting for the 7:26 a.m. train to Penn Station.
