Re: LIRR - REDUCED SERVICE DUE TO DERAILMENT

It wasn't too bad on the Babylon train this morning. The train I took (my regular one was canceled) was on time west of Jamaica. We were maybe delayed 5 minutes total waiting for track space at Jamaica.

ETA -- Because my usual train was canceled, though, I wound up being 20 minutes later than usual.

I was delayed 20 minutes. I'm sure my boss thinks I'm full of it when I email her with the delays. I do send her the service advisories. Then she tells me to move to Jersey.
