LIRR Delays After Woman Struck

MTA: Port Washington branch temporarily suspended Tuesday night after woman struck by train west of Douglaston.

Long Island Rail Road service was suspended on the Port Washington branch for an hour Tuesday night after a woman was struck just west of Douglaston Station, the MTA said.

An eastbound train struck a woman at the west end of Douglaston station at 9:20 p.m., according to MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan. The woman was transported to a nearby hospital, Donovan said.

Service was suspended in both directions pending an MTA Police investigation. One track was cleared and limited service restored at 10:11 p.m. 

Two trains were cancelled: The 9:39 p.m. train from Port Washington and 9:48 train from Penn Station. 

Two other trains were held: The 9:18 p.m. from Penn Station was halted at Bayside while the 9:09 p.m. from Port Washington was stopped at Great Neck. 

The MTA said to expect residual delays in both directions.

Particularly out of line since it's a shared-use puddle for camp groups splashing, not a good poolRead More venue for individuals swimming.

The TONH should be under some investigation for charging such a high fee for a very short summerRead More season. You lose most of june and the pool closes in early September. Better off paying as you go just purchase the parking permit which is good at the Manorhaven Pool and the Harbor beach. Stop buying a season pass in protest to the yearly excessive price increase.

And speaking of investigations, what's up with Jonny's Roslyn CC fiasco?

Contact the Village and the water district, it's probably a problem with a pipe on your street.
