Overview
- Trains are no longer being rerouted, with service into Penn Station restored as the morning rush winds down.
- Direct Jamaica–Penn Station service was suspended until nearly 8 a.m., with many trains sent to Grand Central Madison, Atlantic Terminal and Long Island City.
- The LIRR warned riders to expect residual cancellations and delays even as regular service returns, though branches were running on or close to schedule.
- Earlier mitigations included cross-honoring on the subway and transfers at Grand Central, Atlantic Terminal, Jamaica, Hunterspoint Avenue and Long Island City.
- The disruption was compounded by limited track capacity from ongoing Amtrak tunnel work related to Penn Station access.
