To Our Customers To Our Customers Babylon Branch dN Weekend Customers Effective: Saturday & Sunday, February 29 - March 1 NO WEEKEND TRAIN SERVICE Between Babylon and Rockville Centre Buses Will Substitute for Trains; Train Service between Rockville Centre & Penn Station Reduced to Hourly; Customers Advised to Use Alternate Branches What’s happening? On the weekend of February 29 - March 1, train service between Babylon and Rockville Centre will be suspended as LIRR forces perform critical work on the Meadowbrook Substation in Freeport and the new Massapequa Pocket Track. Buses will replace trains between Babylon and Rockville Centre. Train service between Rockville Centre and Penn Station will be reduced to hourly. Babylon Branch service will be affected as follows: Westbound: Customers at stations Babylon through Baldwin will board buses to Rockville Centre, then transfer for hourly train service to points west. Customers at Babylon Station can board a limited number of westbound Montauk Branch trains that will operate via the Central Branch through Hicksville to points west. Eastbound: Board hourly trains to Rockville Centre, then transfer for bus service to stations Baldwin through Babylon. Plan for up to 45 minutes of added travel time. To avoid busing, transfers and delays, customers are strongly advised to use alternate branches, including the Hempstead, Huntington/Port Jefferson, Long Beach and Ronkonkoma branches. To lessen the impact to customers, we will increase service on the Ronkonkoma Branch and add cars to Montauk Branch trains. The Meadowbrook Substation Replacement Project will provide increased third-rail power for our electric fleet and the Massapequa Pocket Track will facilitate turning trains east of Massapequa Station, increasing service flexibility and improving reliability. We appreciate your patience as we work to modernize the LIRR system.

  • New York State Public Transportation Safety Board Rail Safety Section Abbreviated Report Case Number: 9260
    NEW YORK STATE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD RAIL SAFETY SECTION ABBREVIATED REPORT CASE NUMBER: 9260 DATE OF ACCIDENT: February 2, 2007 CARRIER: MTA Long Island Rail Road TYPE OF INCIDENT: Evacuation SYNOPSIS: On Friday, February 2, 2007, at approximately 6:37 p.m., the LIRR movement bureau placed a block on the four main line tracks in the Valley interlocking after the Valley Tower Operator reported that an electrical power wire was hanging low across the tracks. Valley Tower is located in the town of Valley Stream and the power wire from a Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) sub-station on the north side of the right-of-way extends overhead across to the south side of tracks. The wire had sagged to approximately five feet above the Long Beach #2 track; 10 feet above the Montauk #2 track; and four feet above the top of the head car on train #4153 on Montauk #1 track were it had stopped adjacent to the Valley Tower. The wire did not come into contact with the train. The movement bureau established a block on the #1 and #2 tracks of both the Montauk and the Atlantic lines, effectively shutting down traffic through the interlocking. This affected train movement on the Montauk, Far Rockaway, West Hempstead and Long Beach Branches. A total of 14 trains (eight eastbound and six westbound) were delayed between the Hall Interlocking (west of Jamaica Station) and the Merrick Station on the Montauk Branch when third rail power was shut off. Of the above trains, 8 of them stopped within the limits of the Valley Interlocking.
