	Long Island Railroad - LIRR schedule, times, information, delays Long Island, NY
		The LIRR's history stretches back to 1832 and the Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad, which built a ten mile (16 km) stretch of track between Brooklyn and Jamaica.
		The LIRR thus built its original tracks running straight down the middle of the island, which was largely uninhabited at the time, rather than serving the existing Long Island communities.
		In 1876, the LIRR was bought out by the owner of one of the competing roads, but the Long Island Rail Road name was used for the merged company.

	Long Island Rail Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trimming the LIRR from its system did not provide the relief the PRR sought and, on February 1, 1968 the PRR merged with the New York Central Railroad to form the Pennsylvania New York Central Transportation Company, popularly known as the Penn Central.
		In 1966 the State of New York purchased the LIRR from the PRR by acquisition of all of its capital stock, though the PRR continued management until, in 1968, the LIRR was handed over to the newly formed Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (MCTA) to oversee its operation.
		LIRR still uses a small portion of this line, east of Hempstead, as a place to store equipment, and each year the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus train uses this Garden City Secondary to reach the Nassau Coliseum.

	NTSB/RAB-05/01
		LIRR 508 was to be moved “dead in tow” (unpowered) in the middle of a group of three locomotives.
		Locomotives LIRR 160 and LIRR 164 were to be the lead and trailing locomotives of the three-locomotive train, depending on the train’s direction of movement.
		Because LIRR 508 was a different type of locomotive, (5) the usual electrical cable connections between the locomotives could not be made.

		But I know what those LIRR engineers would look for because I spend time with them and I know I want to be able to afford to get out of the cold when I retire (which should be in about thirty years at the rate I'm going).
		I think the LIRR engineers and conductors have the best salary package out of all of the MTA operating units but no one at the MTA is going to retire to the poorhouse.
		LIRR engineers are one of the last fanatical union groups in the world and regularly hold commuters hostage.

	NIH-CSR Lung Injury, Repair, and Remodeling [LIRR] (RESIRG)
		The scope of the studies to be reviewed by LIRR includes genetic susceptibility, molecular biology, cell culture, tissue, organ and animal models, and human investigations.
		Fetal and neonatal lung diseases and disorders may be assigned to LIRR except when they relate to the maintenance of pregnancy or fetal well-being, in which case the application may be assigned to the EMNR IRG.
		Studies that address the effects of digestive system-generated metabolites of xenobiotics or the absorption and excretion of xenobiotics by the digestive system may be assigned to the DIG IRG.

		LIRR states that Lloyd chooses and supplies all personnel, is responsible for hiring new employees, and retains control over employee schedules, wages, benefits, discipline, and training.
		LIRR also contends the ruling on this accretion application should be stayed until the grievance filed by IRSA claiming that LIRR violated the collective bargaining agreement by contracting out the temperature survey work to Lloyd is ruled on by an arbitrator.
		LIRR claims the issue is a minor dispute under the RLA and, therefore, the representation matter should be delayed pending arbitration.

	LIRR Lightweight Parlor Cars
		As the 1970s reach their midpoint, LIRR rebuilds 11 of their own lightweight electric MU coaches into parlor cars capable of operating with the railroad's push-pull fleet.
		In 1989, one of these 11 rebuilt cars is given it's own diesel generator, providing "dual mode" capability; another LIRR coach is rebuilt as a parlor car with it's own diesel generator, expanding the Sunrise Fleet of parlor cars to a total of twelve cars.
		It is discontinued at the turn of the century, when the LIRR replaces their small fleet of parlor cars (and larger fleet of diesel hauled coaches) with new multilevel coaches and cab-control coaches.

	LIRR History FAQ - Atlantic Avenue Cobble Hill Tunnel
		The LIRR had leased the line to provide a track connection to the East River, as their own tracks then ended at Jamaica.
		The LIRR then decided to abandon their lease of the Brooklyn and Jamaica and to build their own trackage to a different point on the East River.
		In 1875 the LIRR resumed operation on Atlantic Avenue, but going only as far as Flatbush Avenue, under terms of a new agreement with a Brooklyn and Jamaica successor.

		LIRR President James Dermody estimated the railroad - which serves 200,000 rush-hour riders each day - would serve an additional 8,000 commuters an hour during the rush hour between Jamaica and New York.
		Regular LIRR riders who commute to or from Queens stations other than Jamaica may have to change trains to reach their destinations.
		LIRR commuters at Jamaica, Kew Gardens, Forest Hills and Woodside will be served by shuttle trains.

		The focus of this website is the parlor cars of the LIRR during the last four decades of the 20th century.
		Rebuilt lightweight parlor cars: LIRR rebuilt these 12 cars, known as The Sunrise Fleet, from their own lightweight coaches, to be compatible with their "push-pull" operations.
		After all, LIRR retired the heavyweight cars three decades ago and retired the lightweight cars that replaced them about a quarter-century ago; the majority of them have probably long since been cut up by a scrapper and their steel recycled into new uses.

	LIRR State Hospital Spurs
		In his book "The LIRR in Early Photographs", Ron Ziel writes: "For many years, the railroad did a booming business serving the vast state hospitals, built for the most part early in the twentieth century.
		The LIRR had brought in all of the materials used to construct the hospital complexes, and later it carried the provisions necessary to sustain them and their thousands of patients.
		On the weekends, the LIRR ran visitor trains and there were even special cars to transport the insane, equipped with restraining seat belts and bars on the windows.

	S. Berliner, III's Long Island Rail Road Page
		The LIRR, having ignored all the towns along the Island and been built on the most barren (and inexpensive) land on the Island now had no "raison d'être" and had to scurry to build or buy branches to the population centers on Long Island.
		For information on the wonderful LIRR #322 (the first LIRR electric), #323 (Pennsy #10001, the second), and other early LIRR boxcab electrics, see the Odd Boxcabs page (which covers electric boxcabs).
		It was purpose-built for the LIRR at the PRR Juniata Shops at a cost of $32,202 and delivered to the LIRR on 10 October 1928 for high-acceleration commuter service.

	LIRR Electric Heritage Page
		To Ron's dismay, the entire introductory historical text, outlining the background of why the LIRR electrified, its purchase by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the early electrification experiments, etc., was left out, so the book begins with photo captions.
		As a result, real LIRR electric operations, suc as the LIRR storage battery cars, the early experiments, LIRR trolleys, and the electric shop locomotives, were either totally or almost totally ignored.
		Page 26 (top caption): All PRR and LIRR locomotives had both the high classification lamps and pilot-mounted markers, which were reduced to just the pilot markers on freight power in mid-1930s, passenger by 1942.

	LIRR still investigating 4-hour delay [Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers]
		Responding to reports of sparks under the train, LIRR inspectors looked under the cars to see if anything had been caught and dragged but found nothing.
		Reports that a commuter had jumped from the disabled train onto the tracks led to electric power being turned off, causing systemwide delays that derailed plans for a rescue train.
		After a search of the tracks turned up no one, LIRR crews evacuated the stalled train after 9:15 p.m.

		The LIRR finally connected directly with Manhattan on the completion in September 1910 of the East River ("Steinway") tunnels and Pennsylvania Station.

		Frankly, all of the trains we saw on the LIRR looked the worse for wear.
		All three dieselized trains that came while we were there showed a lot of wear, flaking paint and a coat of grime unusual even by New York standards.
		We noticed that the LIRR's standard dieselized train has a powered locomotive at the East end; on the West is a non-powered control cab unit whose power plant has been replaced by a generator for heating and lighting cars

	LIRR Lightweight Parlor Cars
		As the decade of the 1960s draw to a close, LIRR upgrades this venerable institution with lightweight equipment from other railroads downsizing their fleet of long distance trains: Baltimore and Ohio - Erie Lackawanna - Florida East Coast - Kansas City Southern - New Haven - Pennsylvania, and Union Pacific.
		Reportedly retired by LIRR and sold to someone from Salem VA in late 1990s.
		In addition to the above cars which were purchased, LIRR leased New Haven "STATE" series six double bedroom buffet lounge cars for parlor car service during the 1968 (and possibly also the 1966 and 1967) season; follow this link for some photos.

	LIRR FREIGHT SIDINGS
		Alas, LIRR freights during the 70's rarely had the length or the tonnage to pass these signals on a Rule 291.
		This landmark industrial site on Newtown Creek, was long the LIRR's best freight customer and was so important as to justify its own freight clerk and station designation ("Laurel Hill"), a job that worked in one of the myriad ancient brick buildings of the complex until the early 60's.
		During steam days, this was a helper district on the LIRR and still features "G" plates on the two position light signals governing the hill.

		I had thought about Rockville Centre, but figured that local zoning and limited highway access would prevent the village from ever becoming a "major" business center.
