I am stuck here between Sunnyside and Woodside due to the bad weather and thought I'd start a new thread. Does anyone know what is going on? We were just told to head back to Penn.

They suspended service on all branches west of Jamaica because of weather. There is nothing on the Radio out here in Babylon for some odd reason.

Between 5:15 and 6pm, there were tornado warnings for SI, Brooklyn and Queens. The storm is currently moving through Suffolk now. News12 traffic is showing slow traffic with the yellow arrows extending all the way from Queens to mid Suffolk on the expressway. Lots of trees down and building damage in parts of western LI all over.

Have the other local railroads suspended service because of this storm?

Another bad management decision. If it looks like rain, you should drive - at least until they throw out Helena Williams.

And all the time I thought the LIRR was a cut above those of us in NYCT. It seems the MTA "disease" effects all of those at the top nowadays. It must be spreading.

The weather channel is saying there were trees down across the tracks, and so far one person was killed on the grand cental parkway.

Just made it to Jamaica from Penn by the e train, quite an experience getting out of the Jamaica subway...

There are numerous trees down ( not counting the numerous trees and debris on the tracks ). These trees down are on top of power outages ( which number at least 25k ). Both the LIRR and NYCTA are affected to a great degree.
Thankfully they're managing to run limited service east of Jamaica, can get a faint signal from the lirr road channel ( heard 9816 going east from Babylon ).
I'd rank this a shade below that March storm ( by far one of the strongest T-storms we experienced this summer, and we've had quite a few ).

In the 28 years I worked on the RR, we ran in rain storms ,snow storms, wind storms, hurricanes, 9/11 what ever. Tool ,what is going on over there. Has this turned into a fair weather railroad?

Service to penn is still out apparently, Port wash might not be back up for the AM rush even. Guess there was a tornado in queens after all.

It was business as usual at Penn Station this evening....Inacurate, incomplete information with complete kaos inside and outside
Someone needs to take a course in crisis management
I guess the LIRR will have to settle for a 97% on-time rate this month
