The LIRR says the issues are due to a track condition near the East River Tunnels.
They are coordinating with Amtrak to adjust service.
Service from Penn Station to Woodside will be reduced overnight while Amtrak works on tracks west of Woodside.
New York City Transit will cross-honor LIRR fares via the 7.
Eastbound Main Line trains from Penn are scheduled to bypass Woodside overnight tonight due to Amtrak trackwork. Main Line trains from Grand Central and the Pt Washington Branch are unaffected.
