[xtypo_dropcap]F[/xtypo_dropcap]ive of the Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) 11 branches are running on a “very limited service” midday Tuesday, according to a Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) advisory.
Port Washington branch is running two-hour service westbound from Port Washington and eastbound from Penn Station. City Terminal Zone, Babylon, Port Jefferson, and Ronkonkoma branches have trains operating every 70 minutes, according to the MTA.
The LIRR is expected to gradually restore service on other branches—Far Rockaway, Hempstead, Long Beach, Montauk, Oyster Bay, and West Hempstead—throughout Tuesday.
“Hundreds of LIRR employees continue to work around the clock to clear snow and ice from tracks, switches, and the third rail,” reads the advisory.
The employees are also working to remove snow from LIRR-owned parking lots.
The LIRR was suspended on Sunday due to blizzard conditions and safety concerns.
The subway system is operating with delays and service outages on a few lines, including the B, L, N, and Q lines, the Franklin Ave Shuttle, and the Rockaway Park Shuttle.
