A Tuesday morning fireplace has shut down Lengthy Island Rail Highway service out of Grand Central Terminal, officers stated.
“A two-alarm fire broke out at Grand Central Terminal this morning,” New York Metropolis Emergency Administration stated on X. “The fire and smoke has caused widespread disruptions across the Long Island Rail Road and related transit systems.”
LIRR officers stated eight branches are affected, with suspensions or rerouted trains alongside the Babylon, Metropolis Terminal Zone, Hempstead, Far Rockaway, Port Jefferson, Port Washington, Ronkonkoma and West Hempstead branches.
“Some westbound trains will be canceled upon arrival in Jamaica and diverted to Penn Station or Atlantic Terminal,” the railroad stated on X. “Subways are cross-honoring LIRR fares.”
Officers stated the FDNY is on scene.
It is a growing story. Please examine again for updates.
