Buses replace trains between Freeport and Babylon this weekend (April 9-10), as the MTA Long Island Rail Road completes work on a major signal modernization project between Amityville and Wantagh. Babylon Branch customers can avoid buses by taking LIRR train service on alternate unaffected LIRR branches.
The Amityville-Wantagh Signal Improvement Project replaces the signal system at these two important switching locations with new modern microprocessor-based technology. The new system will increase service reliability for trains on the LIRR's busiest branch.
Ed Koch is looking surprisingly good after all these years. How does he do it?
But seriously, nothing beats the old position-light signals. They are one of the many things that makes the LIRR special.
