Let’s hope this gets cleared up by the evening commute: Long Island Rail Road service is suspended in both directions on ALL lines except Port Washington! According to Newsday , “The signal malfunction began at 10:40 a.m. and it was unclear when the problem would be resolved, according to LIRR spokesman Rich Mendelson. He said the malfunction was not weather-related.” In fact, the malfunction is related to a fire: Apparently there was an electrical fire at a switching tower! WCBS 2 says , “Westbound passengers headed for Penn Station will have to take a subway into Manhattan from Jamaica. Eastbound customers should take a subway out of Penn Station to the Jamaica Station to get to their LIRR train,” but the MTA website says all the lines (except Port Washington) are suspended. And NYC Transit is honoring LIRR passes on subways between Manhattan and Jamaica, Brooklyn. Check here for more updates .
