Around 7:30 a.m. this morning, two LIRR trains bumped at Track 1--the Port Jefferson train hit a Babylon train. According to WABC 7, this has resulted in "several minor injuries" (passengers were also evacuated from the trains) and WCBS 2 reports, "As a result, there is no service from Jamaica to Penn Station in either direction or from Flatbush to Penn Station in either direction," though some limited service may have resumed. There have also been some delays on the LIRR's mainline, due to signal problems in Queens Village..

Whew. Good thing I went to work an hour early.
Suckas
Second delay this week and it's only Wednesday.
And the fare is going up!
The LIRR is run by incompetent morons, in a culture steeped in corruption. see: pension scam.
What I don't understand is that if the majority of Long Islanders are rather well off, why don't they band together and complain loudly enough to their representatives such that the LIRR is actually fixed? If I were paying $250 a month for this garbage service, damn right I'd be pissed.
Also, the Port Jeff train took the Babylon train's lunch money and called it a wuss in front of all the other trains.
The LIRR ALWAYS has some kinds of problems. They should learn from Metro North on how you're suppose to run a railroad.
Honestly LIRR service has has improved greatly over the past 5 years. Issues like these are somewhat rare nowadays.
Even though many of them are bilking the system, the train system as a whole is far more efficient than Metro North. Metro North has problems unique to them.
After a morning full of messages reporting delays, LIRR's announcement email list now reports things are back to "on or close."
