Long Island Rail Road service is back running on or close to regular schedule after an evening of heavy delays due to a man being struck.
A train headed to Penn Station hit a 50-year-old man on the tracks near the Forest Hills section of Queens at about 4:20 p.m., causing long delays for commuters.
Riders on the train were transferred to another train to get to Penn Station.
The incident caused train service suspensions on both east- and west-bound trains. After an evening of long delays, trains were running on or close to schedule by 9:30 p.m.
It wasn't the only problem commuters faced at Penn Station Tuesday evening: New Jersey Transit said an air conditioning problem there pushed temperatures in the station into the 90s, while an Amtrak train stuck inside a Hudson River tunnel caused delays of 20 to 30 minutes.
PATH cross-honored NJ Transit tickets from 33rd Street to Newark and Hoboken from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
