Metro-North Railroad and New Jersey Transit won’t operate regular rail service today as a result of infrastructure damage caused by Hurricane Irene during the weekend.

Metro-North sustained “significant damage to many portions” of its system. NJ Transit’s Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines also are closed today.

However, several other transit agencies along the East Coast have resumed service today, including Hampton Roads Transit, the Maryland Transit Administration, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Port Authority of New York & New Jersey/Port Authority Trans-Hudson, Virginia Railway Express and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
