ahhh I do NOT miss this about the LIRR. Their service get's suspended everytime there's a rain or snowstorm.
I used to HATE spending over $200 for monthly pass with such shoddy service!!!

yep
All Long Island Rail Road service except for the Port Washington line remains suspended Monday afternoon due to a fire in the switching tower near the Jamaica station, according to the agency.

I heart the port washington line!! I lived in Bayside and took the train to H.S in the city everyday and RAREEELY had a problem. I've also noticed that they are the first to get their trains moving after suspension.
THe oyster bay line is the one I have to take to my parents and it is HORRID!!!

Service is supposedly resumed but not on regular schedules - it's very limited. I am going to do some wedding shopping in the city while I wait for the crowds to go down!

I lived right off bell blvd literally 5 mins walking distance from the basyide LiRR stop. Lived in bayside for 13 years (two different houses) and I loved it there!
I was there a few weeks ago though and Bell BLvd changed sooo much!!! It made me kinda sad not to see some of the old, old stores that used to be there!
