On Friday morning, the MTA Long Island Rail Road experienced scattered system-wide delays averaging 10-15 minutes as a result of earlier winter storm conditions as well as congestion caused by reduced track capacity at Jamaica Station.

LIRR was operating on reduced service for the AM peak rush-hour on Friday, running 135 morning rush hour trains - nine less than normal - as it continues to recover from the storm and so inspections, delayed by snowfall, and continue following Wednesday's non-passenger train derailment of one train car.

"There remains the potential for weather-related difficulties and challenges to affect our operations (Friday), but we expect to continue to provide service that meets customer demands and to get people to work safely again tomorrow," said Patrick Nowakowski, president of the LIRR.

Metro-North planned to operate a regular schedule on Friday. Expect scattered delays and possible train cancellations due to the residual impact of the snowstorm on our service territory. Listen for announcements at your station.
