This is pathetic, just another sign of how outdated and poorly maintained our infrastructure system is here on Long Island
Something needs to change and fast.
Considering the LIRR has been updating its switching and signal system for the past couple of years, I think your comment about infrastructure does not pertain to this current problem. I also don't see how it would make a difference if the equipment was old or new when a fire is involved.

Any other POWs?
New equipment comes from the factory as fireproof.
I just spoke to my wife who said the scroll on the TV said they expect it things to be running in the "3:00 hour". I am sure it will be wacked regardless as some trains probably arent where they are supposed to be right now for the evening commute.
I was so close to driving in and at the last minute figured with the rain it would be better to take the train.
" Very limited service has been restored through Jamaica."
That's Long Island Rail Road speak for "we ran one train through Jamaica to show we are trying to fix a problem that will make your commute close to hell tonite"
could be completely unrelated...but didn't one of the subway lines get knocked out of commission for MONTHS a few years back because of a fire with the signals or switches or something like that?
That was the A,C,E lines, and it wasn't out for months. Originally NYCTA said it would be because the signal equipment was from 1932 and everything would have to be reconfigured for modern equipment.
It was a TA signal employee that saved the day on that one. s/he knew of original equipment removed from an upgrade at another location. The old equipment was supposed to be discarded, but one of the maintainers held onto it.
