If you commute on the LIRR through Penn Station and you haven’t left the city yet, then good news! You’ll be hitting up your local happy hour after work today because you’re probably not getting out of the city until 8pm.
The MTA is currently telling commuters to hold off on heading to the station because of delays and cancellations caused by this morning’s train derailment.
Currently, 29 LIRR trains out of Penn Station between 4pm and 8pm have been cancelled in order to free up space for delayed NJ Transit and Amtrak trains. If you can, you should probably head to another station. The LIRR will continue to operate on close-to-normal schedules out of Atlantic Terminal and Hunterspoint Avenue.
Amtrak trains out of Penn Station are also delayed. Limited outbound service on NJ Transit resumed about an hour ago. You can find the latest updates on train status here:
