Downloadable LIRR Timetables - look for these schedules:
--US Open Golf Tournament Shinnecock Hills June 7-17, 2018 (Montauk Branch)
--Special Event Montauk Branch Timetable June 11-17, 2018
--Additional US Open service June 14-15, 2018 only
--Special Event Timetables June 14-15, 2018: Babylon, Far Rockaway, Hempstead, Long Beach,
Oyster Bay, Port Jefferson, Ronkonkoma and West Hempstead Branches (8 total)
Taking note of reports of traffic problems in the vicinity of the Shinnecock Canal and Shinnecock
Hills area it will be interesting to see how the LIRR handles the added ridership of golf fans going
to the US Open. Back in 2004 almost every available C3 car was in service with minimal spares
(I believe that it was only TWO spare cars total) maxing the LIRR Diesel fleet out to its limits...
