A Long Island Railroad train is stuck in an East River Tunnel, causing 30 minute delays in and out of Penn Station. The MTA says, "Please be advised that, as a measure of crowd control, the LIRR concourse at penn Station is temporarily not accessible via the 34th Street entrance. Customers are advised to use the LIRR entrance on 7th Avenue as an alternative." Yikes - good luck, LIRR commuters.
And we're hearing that some sort of rescue train may be sent in to extract the passengers in the disabled train.

i think that the people who are actually interested in this news item are either stuck on the train or stuck in the crowd.. ha!
My train left right before it happened. See people it pays to skip work early.
Suckers!
What's up with the LIRR and all their problems lately? Metro-North has been great this month. On time arriving at GCT and my home station just about everyday.
Metro North had a breakdown on Sunday night. A New Haven to GCT train stopped in Bridgeport with brake problems. Never heard if it was rain related.
I take Metro North all the time (parents live in New Haven). I have, seriously, never once had a big problem with that train. They're just more efficient, for whatever reason.
i have problems with metro north all the time. i take it to westport, ct.
briefly:
- stranded in gct several times with 40,000 (no, really, not kidding) other people when the wires fell down and there was no service to ct during the evening rush hour.
- train broke down in norwalk once, had to take a shuttle bus from norwalk to stamford to catch the local to gct
- wet leaves on the track cause delays
- if it's too hot the wires melt and cause delays
the best line is the harlem line with the fancy new cars. never had a problem with that one. rode it every day for 2 yrs.
oh lord, do i hate metro north though.
the New Haven does suck but the Harlem and Hudson Lines are great.
Luckily I'm on the Hudson line.
