Ronkonkoma riders document moment first train pulled in

At 12:12 p.m., for the first time in three days, dozens of commuters standing on the Ronkonkoma train station platform partook in the longtime, communal instinct of turning their heads to the left — as the first train destined to Penn Station arrived.

Passengers quietly boarded the train without hurrah, camaraderie or applause — although several pulled out their phones or hand-held cameras to document the occasion.
