LIRR Service Restored After Power Problem That Extended Into Black Friday Morning
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Service was getting back on track for Long Island Rail Road riders after disruptions that started on Thanksgiving stretched into Black Friday.
The LIRR said PSEG Long Island power problems in Valley Stream were responsible for disrupting service.
The LIRR is operating with regular service and stopping patterns on all branches as crews continue to work to repair the signal system that suffered extensive damage at multiple locations caused by Thursday's PSEGLI downed line in Valley Stream.
