Piney News Update: LIRR snowed out!

LIRR sustained "major snow/ice damage" in snow storm. Still no service for Sunday, as the railroad works to clear stranded trains. There is still much snow & ice covering the 3rd rails. LIRR hopes to restore regular service on most branches for tomorrow morning, but I would expect it to be anything but regular. Statement from MTA web site Seven of the LIRR’s 12 branches, representing the majority of LIRR service, will be fully operational by 5 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 25. Those seven branches are Port Washington, Oyster Bay, Port Jefferson, Ronkonkoma, Huntington, Babylon and Greenport. Partial service will also be offered on the Montauk branch as far as Speonk. Despite significant progress that has been made so far, additional work is required before service can be restored on the Hempstead, West Hempstead, Far Rockaway and Long Beach branches. Those four branches are relatively close to MTA bus and subway services that can be used as alternatives. To clear these branches, LIRR has deployed all available staff and equipment, as well as dozens of additional personnel and plows, loaders and snow blowers deployed by the state Department of Transportation. The work being done by this full deployment includes clearing tracks, stations, platforms, parking lots and maintenance yards of snow and ice, as well as running de-icing trains along the tracks to clear the third rails. LIRR service to Atlantic Terminal will remain temporarily suspended. However, LIRR tickets will be cross-honored on subways to support any commuters who usually travel to Atlantic Terminal. NICE Bus has restored limited service on most routes this afternoon. Currently the following routes are running for Sunday evening n4 .....every 30 minutes n6......every 30 minutes n15...Sunday schedule n19...every 60 minutes ALTERED n20G/H ....every 30 mintues(buses will run from Flushing to Hicksville and only make stops on Northern Blvd. Buses will NOT make stops in Great Neck, Roslyn or the colleges due to road conditions) n22.....Sunday schedule n24.....Sunday schedule n32.....every 60 minutes n33 ...Sunday schedule n35 ...Sunday schedule n40/41..every 60 minutes n43......every 60 minutes n49.....Sunday schedule n55....
