NEW YORK - Service on all three commuter railroads in the New York City metropolitan area was suspended on Tuesday because of the dangerous effects of Tropical Storm Isaias.

The Long Island Rail Road and the Metro-North Railroad were suspended systemwide for most of the day, the MTA announced. New Jersey Transit rail service is also on hold systemwide due to "overhead wire and signal issues," the agency said.

Shortly after 9 p.m., the LIRR Far Rockaway and Long Beach branches and the Metro-North Hudson Line resumed running but the other branches and lines remained out of service.

NJ Transit Northeast Corridor rail service out of Penn Station New York resumed temporarily to get commuters out of the city. The transit agency said crews were working to remove trees that had fallen on tracks and taken down overhead wires.


Important Notice: Limited NJ TRANSIT rail service out of Penn Station New York only on the Northeast Corridor will temporarily resume to accommodate customer demand for the remainder of the service day on Tuesday, August 4 due to impacts from today’s storm.
