Re: LIRR delays anticipated for tonight.
I left work already. I never ran so fast in my life. I made it from my office to my train in 4 min. I can only imagine what my face looked like on security cams

God forbid my job would let us go early, they would probably make us stay until 8pm !
If it were Metro North, everybody would be gone. Guess where the execs live ?
Sigh, I'll have to take the not-so-express bus home.

That stinks!! At least our line probably won't be delayed since we don't stop at jamaica. Hope you have a normal commute home!

I just checked.
The 5:14 Great Neck will be combined with 5:11 Port Wash. Crowded but doable. First stop is Bayside.

I'm waiting to hear. My friend just left to go to Penn. She is going to let me know how it is. I'm leaving in about a half hour. I'll post if I hear anything.

Re: LIRR delays anticipated for tonight.
Due to the Amtrak derailment, the LIRR has lost more than 50 percent of its normal track space at Penn Station. Typically, the LIRR has use of nine departure tracks, Tracks 13 through 21, but will be limited to Tracks 18 through 21 during Friday rush hour.

I just got on the train. Penn was packed and so is the one I hopped on. Totally packed. They're starting to cancel trains now.

Great, everyone will be congregating at one area instead of spread out.

I'm on the train now. Penn was crowded. My train is packed. People standing in the aisles. I took a 3:49 train out.

What causes these trains to derail?
Usually speed...but who knows in this instance! I feel like there is a derailment at least once a month between the trains in the tri -state area.
My sister is taking Amtrak from MI to FL next week...like 30 hours on a train. She says it's "safer" than flying. I say she's out of her mind.

Re: LIRR delays anticipated for tonight.
OMG if i was in the city today I would so be drinking in a bar until after 8 pm to avoid all that.
Crowds in Penn and packed trains give me a panic attack!

Re: LIRR delays anticipated for tonight.
My husband is taking the train to lindenhurst? Lyndhurst? Far. Very far. I'm meeting him there but I don't feel like sitting in traffic. Pizza tastes so good alone on the couch with my feet up under a blanket.
