NEW YORK — Long Island Rail Road service is suspended east of Farmingdale on the Ronkonkoma line, after a freight derailment earlier this morning.
Two New York & Atlantic Railroad derailed at approximately 6:30 this morning and are blocking the main track, a LIRR spokesman said.
He added that service will be suspended for the morning rush and possibly longer. There are currently 10 to 15 minute delays systemwide.
Some limited bus service is being provided between Ronkonkoma and Farmingdale. For alternate train service, Ronkonkoma Branch customers are advised to make their way to the Port Jefferson Branch or the Montauk Branch.
