Long Island commuters who normally ride the LIRR may have to find alternate ways home tonight.
That’s because service is still suspended on 10 of 11 Long Island Rail Road lines. Railroad officials say a fire at a switching tower just outside of Jamaica, Queens, servicing the trains headed into Penn Station.
The fire is out, but an LIRR spokesman says the railroad is still assessing the damage to the tower and what impact it might have on the evening commute. Another spokesman says rush hour delays appear likely.
The only line not affected is the Port Washington branch, but that’s because it doesn’t pass through the LIRR Jamaica station.
New York City Transit says it’s honoring all LIRR tickets between Jamaica and New York and Brooklyn.
