Not to be outdone by any other state, and for other political purposes, New York Governor Cuomo has requested the LIRR prepare plans for a total shutdown on a five-hour notice. It would be a contingency if the Governor mandated a prohibition against travel within the state, which he could order under legislation approved Friday.
Normal procedures for curtailing service during an outage such as a strike calls for moving all equipment to places where it can be staged for a quick restoration of service. In a long term disruption, equipment is placed in locations where it could be secured against vandalism, like major yards and terminals.
During any disruption, crew dispatchers prepare crew boards daily and most facilities are staffed with small crews who would keep the physical plant in a state of good repair.
