Long Island Railroad (LIRR) |
|
| |
- The LIRR is both the largest commuter railroad and the oldest railroad in America operating under its original name.
- Charted in 1834, it extends from three major NYC terminals: Penn Station, Flatbush Avenue, and Hunterspoint Avenue through a major transfer hub at Jamaica to the easternmost tip of Long Island.
- Traditionally serving a Manhattan-bound market, the LIRR has undertaken extensive efforts to augment its reverse-commute and off-peak service to meet the needs of businesses in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
- The railroad is modernizing its entire diesel fleet, with 23 new locomotives, 134 bi-level coaches replacing 50s era equipment, and 23 dual-mode locomotives that operate in both diesel and electrified territory, enabling customers to travel between Long Island and Manhattan without changing trains.
