While Amtrak and NJT were running trains in and out of Penn all day, the LIRR hasn't had any service for over 12 hours now. Even at Jamaica, things are a complete mess. No one (including the train crews) has any idea what's going on until the moment it happens. At least one crew outlawed with a train out on the mainline. Eastbound service on the main line this evening was basically non-existent; I spent about an hour and a half at Jamaica trying to get home (on the Hempstead branch, which has no service now) and only three eastbound trains left; one for Speonk, one for Babylon, and one for Long Beach. Nothing for Ronkonkoma, Huntington, Oyster Bay, or West Hempstead.
