LIRR Old Montauk Line Blocked by Downed Trees in Forest Park...

The Old Montauk Branch of the Long Island Railroad is currently blocked by downed trees in Forest Park. The attached photos were taken this evening.


Neither the Long Island Railroad nor the New York & Atlantic Railway have any notice of this condition on their websites. Passenger traffic is scheduled on this section of track tomorrow morning.



The New York & Atlantic Railway moves all the freight for Long Island through Forest Park, approximately 20,000 carloads per year.
