Heard this on the scanner about 15-20 mins before posted. Instructed one train to look out for a track issue, sure enough, turns out to be a broken rail on mainline 3. Trains were/are being redirected down mainline 1.

Ah jeeze not again. Didn't this happen a few months ago? What's the current status?

I haven't heard anything pertaining to the broken rail for a while now. Just the towermaster at Jay informing trains they're being sent down mainline 1. I gotta tell you, i'm glad I fired up the scanner again.

 

For those of you who have scanners and are interested in monitoring, LIRR Channel 1 is 160.3800
