    If you are heading into NYC on the LIRR in the morning, be ready for a long day...

    LIRR Derailment Will Disrupt Monday Morning Commute

    A Long Island Rail Road train derailment that caused major damage to rails and switches at Jamaica Station yesterday [Sunday] will disrupt the morning rush hour , prompting 12 morning westbound train cancellations as crews scramble to make repairs at the railroad's largest hub, railroad spokesman Joe Calderone said. Federal Railroad Administration officials are investigating the derailment, which is the second accident at the same station in a week - and the third this year.

    No one was hurt in yesterday's derailment, which shut down railroad service in both directions for about 90 minutes.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
