Trainspotter Posted November 21, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2007 Disabled train delays LIRR's main line service It's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. That means this is the day more commonly referred to as "The Mother of All Travel Days," considered the biggest travel day of the year. And the worst. The scenario Wednesday morning is proving that true. Full story: amNY - November 21, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTransitFan Posted November 21, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2007 Is it just me or does the LIRR have issues week after week. NJ Transit shares its tracks (on the NEC) and they still have a better track record than the LIRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Transit shares its tracks (on the NEC) and they still have a better track record than the LIRR. Well, thing is about NJT and the NEC line is that Amtrak maintains it. Key thing NJT does is schedule management to avoid being delayed by Amtrak. now about LIRR, there are too many faults throughout the system that causes it to go FUBAR so much. Schedule management is fine but maintaining the lines is sort of a problem for them. But they have problems that will just always be there and screw them in the end.

Tracknut Posted November 21, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2007 The LIRR is just too damn busy for its own good. I belive most of their problems are their locomotives and signaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
