Long Island Rail Road officials say commuters at the Ronkonkoma branch should expect delays of 15-25 minutes during the Tuesday morning rush hour following a train derailment.
The MTA says the LIRR’s signal system was damaged following the derailment of a freight car in Wyandanch on Monday. Until the system is fully repaired, LIRR trains will operate at a reduced speed between Farmingdale and Wyandanch.
Two eastbound Ronkonkoma branch trains will also be partially cancelled Tuesday morning, the MTA says. The 5:11 a.m. train from Penn Station to Ronkonkoma will be terminated at Farmingdale and the 7:54 a.m. train from Deer Park to Riverhead will instead originate from Ronkonkoma at 8:10 a.m. Bus service will be provided.
