LIRR to restore limited service on 6 branches Tuesday, MTA says

The Long Island Rail Road, following its first systemwide shut down in four years because of the storm, will restore limited service on six branches in time for the Tuesday morning rush hour, MTA officials said.

Beginning at 4 a.m. Tuesday, the LIRR will resume operations on its Ronkonkoma, Huntington, Babylon, Oyster Bay, Montauk, and Port Washington branches, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

The LIRR planned to release more details about the limited service later Monday evening, and urged customers to consult the TrainTime app or sign up for email and text alerts.

"The LIRR will work to restore service on the other branches throughout the day tomorrow and service will resume on a rolling basis as conditions allow," the MTA said in a statement.
