Update: LIRR Service Restored, Residual Delays on Multiple Lines

Weather-related signal damage to blame.

Service has been restored on the Ronkonkoma and the Babylon lines of the Long Island Rail Road after lighting strikes caused signal and switch damage earlier today.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority website says that LIRR service has been restored on the “Port Jefferson, Ronkonkoma, Oyster Bay, and Hempstead Branches with residual delays of up to two hours.”

We will follow up on this story as more information becomes available.
