The 5:29 PM train from Hunterspoint, scheduled to arrive at Ronkonkoma at 6:50 PM has been cancelled due to equipment problems. Hopefully the scoot will be...

Clearly the crew did the right thing and deserves conratulations. The LIRR is saying that the quick response was partly due to the new cell phones: FREEPORT,...

I happen to know the three crew members very well (minus the engineer). They are all stand up individuals and it is no suprise that they did the right thing....

Radios are "old" technology, why are they preferred? They cannot support a 2-way (full duplex) conversation and are usually much bigger. Would every crew...

There are advantages and disadvantages to each. Certainly there is no shortage of cell towers on Long Island - especially near LIRR tracks. However in extreme...

mailsailes for president! There are at least 10 different ways of informing you what train you're on or should get on: 1. in penn there are the boards (big...
I think that this (not knowing which train, asking questions) is more of an "occasional passenger" problem. Commuters and LIRR employees have knowledge of the...
The only times I see a large breakdown of LIRR communications (announcements, signage etc..) is when there are delays and I am in Jamaica. Maybe the track...
