WE - Thanks for the clarification concerning Friday August 26 and Monday August 29...
I should have noted "All trains *STOPPING AT MINEOLA* will use Platform A-Track 3 in both directions"
Track 1 will be in use for trains that do not stop at Mineola - this will NOT be a complete bottleneck between
Nassau 1 and Nassau 2 at Mineola restricting trains to a single open track...
Everyone - The special Port Jefferson Branch timetable for Friday August 26 and Monday August 29 shows
virtually all of the Main Line service changes in effect for these two days - Oyster Bay and Ronkonkoma TT's
have service revisions for the two branches on these dates...

New LIRR Branch timetables effective Tuesday September 6, 2022 are available...
Main Line track outages Floral Park-Hicksville are scheduled for these four weekends after Labor Day -
September 10-11; 17-18; 24-25 and October 1-2...
Huntington/Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma trains terminate at Hicksville
Shuttle trains operate Hicksville-Bethpage-Babylon
Enhanced Babylon Branch service; Oyster Bay trains operate East Williston-Oyster Bay
Track numbers at FLORAL PARK have been changed - effective Monday August 15 -
Track M3 becomes Track 3
Track M1 becomes Track 1
Track H1 becomes Track 2
Track H2 becomes Track 4
Track numbers at BELLEROSE are: Track 1 is now TRACK 2; Track 2 is now TRACK 4.
If all goes according to plan over these four days - August 26 to 29 - Track 2 will be in service through
Mineola between Nassau 1 and Nassau 2 starting Tuesday August 30 opening the second segment of the
new third track - with the emphasis shifting east from Nassau 2 through Carle Place and Westbury...
Looking forward October 2022 is going to be very interesting - can the new Track 2 be in service by
the end of the month or reasonable thereabouts completing the prime track construction phases?
